Still Life with Lute by Hugo Charlemont - Postcard

Still Life with Lute by Austrian artist Hugo Charlemont (1850–1939) is an atmospheric nineteenth-century still life bringing together a lute, an open book, a woodwind instrument, flowers and richly coloured textiles. The carefully arranged objects create a harmonious composition in which music, literature and decorative beauty meet.

Charlemont pays particular attention to the textures of the objects. The polished surface of the lute, the pages of the book, the folds of the cloth and the intricate decorative background are rendered with a richness that gives the still life an almost tactile quality. The composition reflects the nineteenth-century fascination with collecting beautiful objects and creating interiors filled with references to music, art and cultivated life.

Reproduced as a fine-art postcard, Still Life with Lute brings the richness of nineteenth-century European still-life painting into the intimate format of traditional correspondence. It is an evocative choice for lovers of Hugo Charlemont, musical instruments in art, vintage interiors, books, flowers, Austrian painting and historic art postcards.
