Trompe l'Oeil with Breakfast Piece and Goblets
1672
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Trompe l'Oeil with Breakfast Piece and Goblets is a 1672 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a table covered with a red-and-green patterned cloth. On it sit a red hat, a few apples, a basket of bread, and some goblets. A white cloth drapes over the left side, and a dark curtain hangs behind, almost hiding a statue in the background. The artist used light and shadow to make the objects look almost real. The way the curtain folds and the way the tablecloth sits add depth to the scene. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this technique works.
