More about this artwork

"Stillleben mit totem Huhn und Krug" is a captivating painting by the Austrian artist August von Pettenkofen, dated between 1860-1870. This still life composition captures a somber, yet strikingly realistic scene set against a dark, textured background that underscores the simplicity and directness of peasant life during the period.Centered in the composition is a lifeless chicken, its body limply sprawled and feathers ruffled, portrayed with an almost palpable texture that emphasizes its mortality. To its right stands a robust earthen jug, its surface rugged and aged, with a gentle sheen that catches the light, suggesting frequent usage and utilitarian value.Pettenkofen’s mastery in this work lies in his ability to evoke emotion through ordinary objects, orchestrating a scene that speaks to the cycles of life and the rustic beauty found therein. The muted palette and the detailed execution invite viewers to reflect on the transient nature of existence, while also appreciating the beauty in everyday objects.
