About the Item
Still Life with Hare, Partridge, Cabbage, and Wine” by Fortuné Vernier — 19th Century French Culinary Trompe-l’Œil Oil Painting, Unframed
While this painting is not a pure example of trompe-l'œil in the strictest sense—meaning a hyper-realistic optical illusion meant to “deceive the eye” into thinking the objects are three-dimensional—it draws heavily from that tradition and shares several key attributes:
A richly composed 19th-century French still life painting by Fortuné Vernier, capturing the abundance and quiet solemnity of the hunt in the tradition of Old Master culinary still lifes. Executed in oil on canvas and measuring 25.5 inches wide by 31.5 inches high, the work is unframed and has been professionally relined for conservation.
Vernier masterfully depicts a freshly hunted hare, hung by its hind legs with anatomical precision, its limp body forming the vertical axis of the composition. Below lies a delicately painted partridge, feathers intact and limp in repose. A green cabbage with deeply curled leaves anchors the background, accompanied by a wax-sealed bottle of wine and a golden onion resting beside a bundle of greens. All are arranged atop a luminous white linen cloth whose folds and edges reflect the artist’s technical skill in light and texture.
The piece exemplifies French naturalist painting influenced by the Dutch Golden Age, with a dramatic interplay of shadow and illumination, and meticulous attention to fur, feather, and fabric. Signed lower left “Fortuné Vernier,” with the artist’s name and inventory number “#2353” also inscribed on the stretcher verso.
This painting evokes themes of sustenance, mortality, and seasonal ritual, making it ideal for collectors of gastronomic, realist, or Old Master-inspired works. Would suit display in a formal dining room, culinary interior, or cabinet of curiosities.
Unframed.
