Vintage Still Life Oil Painting of Wine Glasses in Basket Sebastien Stoskopff

About the Item

Handmade museum-quality unframed reproduction of “Still-Life of Glasses in a Basket" by Sebastien Stoskopff. This oil painting reproduction captures the essence of Stoskopff's original masterpiece. Originally painted in 1644 the painting depicts several glass goblets in a small basket with one broken to the left and a small lid or figurine to the right. The original painting is on display in the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is MBA 1281 ("MBA" stands for Musée des Beaux-Arts). The painting is representative for the new phase in Stoskopff's work, after he had settled again in his hometown after many years in Paris and demonstrated the extent of his art in his masterpiece from 1641, The Great Vanity. Stoskopff then concentrated on the pictorial rendition of the transparency and the fragility of glass, the reflections of light and contrasts in thickness among and between glasses, etc. These paintings were highly praised and sought after by collectors; Cardinal Richelieu himself owned one, although it is not known if it was MBA 1281. Still lifes depicting glassware had been pioneered by the painter Georg Flegel, but Stoskopff perfected the genre by concentrating essentially on the transparency and translucency. While MBA 1281 depicts luxury glassware, other paintings (examples below) sometimes depict ordinary drinking glasses. The broken glass alludes to the frailty of existence and serves as a Memento mori. Sebastian (or Sébastien) Stoskopff (July 13, 1597 – February 10, 1657) was an Alsatian painter. He is considered one of the most important German still life painters of his time. His works, which were rediscovered after 1930, portray goblets, cups and especially glasses. The reduction to a few objects, which is characteristic of early still life painting, can again be recognized in Stoskopff's painting. His chief works hang in his hometown of Strasbourg, but some of the world's most important art museums (the MET, the Louvre, the KHM, the Gemäldegalerie) own paintings by Stoskopff as well.
