Early 20th-Century Austrian School, Still life With Pomegranates, Apples & Cornflowers

Early 20th-Century Austrian School, Still life With Pomegranates, Apples & CornflowersThis fine early 20th century still life by Anton Sitzes depicts a variety of fruit including pomegranates, apples and an orange along with a vase of cornflowers. The fruit is rendered with careful scrutiny and the palette creates an unusual harmony. Sitzes also reminds us of the inevitable decay within nature via the inclusion of a fly on the foremost pomegranate. Its a technique that references the Dutch masters of yesteryear. The painting is signed

The most delicious treasures of the old Dutch School are displayed in the large
