About the Item

Ralph Siferd's ode to the Dutch masters of the 17th century can be seen in this still life. A bowl of luscious strawberries sits waiting to be eaten next to a crystal champagne flute - a luxurious breakfast for the viewer. Backdropped by a neutral scene and minimalistic table the eye is drawn solely to the collection food and drink Siferd assembled. Canvas size: 20" x 16" Ralph Siferd was born in 1951 in Calgary, Alberta, to a artistic family. Siferd started painting at a very young age under the direction of his mother, herself a painter. “I was weaned on images by the great Renaissance, Impressionist and Neo Classical European painters. Later, as a student I was greatly influenced by the works of the Expressionist and Abstract Expressionist painters particularly regarding their free use of paint and the tactile, visceral feeling of the medium.” It was while studying Art History at the University of Calgary that he discovered the timeless narrative of the 17th and 18th Century French and Northern European Still Life painters. Their images have had a profound influence on his work. “My work is predominantly still life because I feel the ordinary objects of our surroundings are where we live, where the narratives of our lives take place.'

Still Life, 17th Century Oil on Panel Painting
Located in London, GB
Oil on panel, monogrammed mid left Image size: 15 x 12 1/4 inches (38 x 31 cm) Dutch ripple style frame Loeding was born in Leiden in around 1637 and was admitted into the Leiden Guild of St Luke in 1664. Like other Dutch cities, Leiden required membership in the guilds in order to sell wares falling under the various specifications. There is no record of his artistic training or influences, but he likely belonged to the circle of artists including Pieter de Ring and Gerrit Dou, who founded and maintained the Guild.  Loeding is last registered as a member in 1673. One of the most versatile genres that emerged from Dutch 17th Century artistic specialisms is that of 'pronkstilleven'; a laden table with a variety of rich textures, like ornate glassware, gilded goblets, exquisite nautilus cups...
