Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

Maximilian Pfeiler is a German artist, documented in Rome from 1694 to 1721; in the Capitoline city he was a pupil and follower of Christian Berentz. He specialized in the creation of still lifes, refined visually balanced compositions, consisting of fruit and metal plates in the typically late Baroque fashion. The rendering of light, certainly a derivation of the art of Northern Europe, is enhanced by the representation of his compositions en plein air. This characteristic is frequently found in his pictorial corpus, influenced by the example of Franz Werner Tamm, very significant in the location of the elements outside. Our painting, documented by Bocchi in his publication, is characterized by a more earthy palette used to make the second floor, which contrasts with the brighter one used for the still life. The fruit is represented with a typically Nordic lenticular attention, as well as the luministic rendering. The fruits in the foreground take on particular importance, thanks to the quick white brushstrokes used as points of light, which bring out the roundness of the grapes and figs.

Artist: Maximilian Pfeiler (1656-1746)

The life of Maximilian Pfeiler, born in Prague around 1656, is not well documented and there are few chronological references regarding his activity. The few existing sources indicate that in 1683 he was a member of the Painters' Guild of Prague, his hometown, and a pupil of Christian Berentz (1658-1722), a painter of German origins who first traveled to the Netherlands and then settled in Rome, introducing Northern European themes of the still life genre in which he specialized to Italy. It is not clear whether Pfeiler's apprenticeship with Berentz already took place in Rome, where the Czech artist was certainly active from 1694, collaborating with Francesco Trevisani and Michele Rocca. Pfeiler thus managed to carve out a leading role for himself in the Roman art scene of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, creating extravagant and recognisable compositions of fruit and flowers that were much appreciated by illustrious men: for example, some of his works were part of Cardinal Fesch's collection.

Subject: Still life

Artistic technique: Painting

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.

Technical specification: Oil on Canvas
