Frederic Leighton
Christies Old Masters
A collection of masterful still life paintings, mostly in oil.
ABOUT THIS BLOG
This is a collection of favorite still life paintings I've found over the years. I have a particular interest in the oil medium, but occasionally include works in other media, even the odd photo of a nice vase or flower. I hope it will provide a resource for still life painters and art lovers.
There are a few paintings of interiors, and some botanical paintings, which are not really classified as still life, but they fit better here than in my landscape or figurative painting blogs (see links).

There are so many still life painters and his work is always breathtaking. All the paintings seem pregnant with atmosphere and a quiet drama all their own. Flowers are so hard to paint.
Hi Doug
I was looking at his work on Google Art Project, where you can zoom right in. I was amazed at how impressionistic and loose the brushstrokes are close up, but as you zoom out it all looks so convincingly crisp and real. Pure magic.
Hi Jeronimus,
thank you for telling me that. I am looking it up in two seconds.
