American, 1856–1933

John Haberle was an American American Impressionism painter. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston, most of them oil paintings. John Haberle was born in New Haven.

John Haberle (1856–1933) was an American painter in the trompe-l'œil (literally, "fool the eye") style. His still lifes of ordinary objects are painted in such a way that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves. He is considered one of the three major figures, together with William Harnett and John F. Peto, practicing this form of still life painting in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century.
