More about this artwork
"Experiencing the Delicate Mastery in 'Stilleben mit Obst und Chiantiflasche' by Marie Egner"In our collection of exquisite artworks, we hold a remarkable piece by the late Romantic-era artist Marie Egner, whose delicate brush brings to life an array of textures and hues in her painting titled "Stilleben mit Obst und Chiantiflasche" (Still Life with Fruit and Chianti Bottle). This masterful composition captures a serene moment, showcasing a carefully arranged tableau of fruits and a rustic Chianti wine bottle.The viewer's eye is immediately drawn to the assortment of fruits spread across the canvas. Grapes with varying shades from pale green to rosy-tinted white cluster elegantly beside ripe figs, their interiors peeking out with a tempting vibrancy. Nearby, a pear and medlar fruits add depth with their rich tones and intricate detailing, highlighting Egner's skill in rendering textures that seem almost tangible.Dominating the right side of the composition stands an iconic Chianti bottle, encased in a traditional straw basket, evoking a sense of rustic charm and authenticity. Its placement not only balances the visual weight of the abundant fruit but also invites thoughts of a distant Tuscan landscape, connecting the bounty of nature with the crafted result of agricultural endeavors.Egner's use of light and shadow, combined with her subtle yet effective color palette, lends a breath of life to this still life, allowing each element—from the delicate lacework in the foreground to the softly painted background—to contribute to a harmonious and inviting scene.

Egner was born on 25 August 1850 in Bad Radkersburg, Austria. She took her first drawing lessons in Graz with Hermann von Königsbrunn, then went to Düsseldorf from 1872 to 1875, where she studied with Carl Jungheim. In 1882, she went to Vienna to live with her mother, but spent her summers at the art colony in Plankenberg Castle, near Neulengbach, where she took lessons with Emil Jakob Schindler until 1887. A study trip to England followed from 1887 to 1889. Shortly after, her first exhibition was held at the Vienna Künstlerhaus. She also exhibited in Germany and England.
