Sobre a pintura

A landscape with a still life of white and red grapes with at dead bird in the foreground and a little sparrow on a rock in the middleground. Jean Baptiste Robie (1821-1910) was a Belgian artist who primarily painted flower and fruit still lifes and game-pieces in the tradition of 17th century Dutch still life paintings but with a new, brighter colour palette and a softer, more Romantic, aspect. Robie appears to have carefully constructed each of his compositions which include emphatic verticals, visible here in the prominent tree-trunks, and assigned each a particular colour palette, here the work is dominated by purple-blues and warm whites of the grapes against grey/green landscape background. Another signed and dated still life by Robie is in the V&A collection (1045-1886) which reveals a similar compositional construction and attention to light effects but is executed in a palette of whites, pinks and reds.
