Pol Mariën (1932) - The attributes of the engraver

About the Item

Paul Marien (1932)
 The attributes of the engraver Oil on canvas mounted on panel, signed lower right 30 x 40 cm In Les Attributs du Graveur, Paul Marien pays homage to the traditional tools and symbols of the engraver’s craft. Executed in a finely detailed, almost trompe-l’œil style, this still life presents an elegant arrangement of instruments associated with precision and artistry: brass compasses, a magnifying glass, styluses, medals, and a red-and-blue case that holds these emblematic objects. The golden medallion depicting an architectural relief and the classical profile evoke the historical depth and intellectual legacy of engraving as both technical skill and fine art. The prominently placed letter “D” may allude to design or drawing, reinforcing the theme. Marien's mastery of texture, material, and composition underscores his fascination with the intersection of craftsmanship and visual harmony. Biography of Paul Mariën Paul Märien
