Still Life with Fruit, 1873. Creator: Emilie Preyer (German, 1849-1930)
Still Life with Fruit, 1873. This composition contains many elements that show Preyers technical abilities. She convincingly rendered the various textures juxtaposed in this composition, such as the contrast between the white cloth and the polished marble table, and the reflecting surfaces of metal, water drops, and glass versus the delicate skin of peaches and grapes. The knife that appears to project out over the side of the table is an indicator of Preyers familiarity with the tradition of Dutch still life painting. After early training with her father, Johann Wilhelm Preyer (1803-1889), Emilie Preyer painted her first still life in 1867. For study purposes, she visited museums in Dresden, Antwerp, and the Netherlands. She focused primarily on still lifes of fruit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emilie Preyer's masterpiece, "Still Life with Fruit" from 1873. The composition beautifully highlights Preyer's exceptional technical skills as an artist. She skillfully captures the contrasting textures present in this arrangement, such as the smoothness of the polished marble table against the soft white cloth backdrop. Additionally, she expertly portrays the reflective surfaces of metal, water drops, and glass juxtaposed with the delicate skin of peaches and grapes. One notable element in this artwork is the knife that extends beyond the edge of the table—a nod to Preyer's deep understanding and appreciation for Dutch still life painting traditions. Having received early training from her father Johann Wilhelm Preyer, Emilie painted her first still life in 1867. To further enhance her artistic abilities, she diligently studied various museums in Dresden, Antwerp, and even ventured to Netherlands. Emilie Preyer primarily focused on capturing vibrant still lifes featuring fruits throughout her career. This particular piece serves as a testament to her mastery over oil on fabric technique. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art and brought to life through Heritage Art/Heritage Images' remarkable print reproduction expertise (not affiliated with any commercial use), this artwork allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously crafted by one of Germany's most talented artists from the 19th century—Emilie Preyer (1849-1930).
