Still-life with Flute and Times, William Michael Harnett, 1877, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

still life with cream and blue tankard at left, folded "Times" newspaper dated 1877 at center, ivory and wood flute with bottom joint removed, pipe leaning on a blue box at right and several burned matchsticks; several areas of highly-raised impasto: matchsticks in LRC and LLC, highlights on pipe and tankard In 1886, Irish-born William Harnett was arrested by New York police for displaying one of his paintings. His depiction of a five-dollar bill was so realistic he was charged with counterfeiting and scolded for wasting his talents on such endeavors. Clearly Harnett was a talented trompe l’oeil, or “trick the eye,” painter. Still-life with Flute and Times displays the same convincing deception: the mimetic stoneware texture of the stein and the thin, raised rim of the pipe bowl are created through meticulous layering and build-up of paint. Size: 11 5/8 × 15 11/16 in. (29.53 × 39.85 cm) (sight) 18 1/2 × 22 1/2 × 2 1/2 in. (46.99 × 57.15 × 6.35 cm) (outer frame) Medium: Oil on canvas

For Sunday's Dinner, William Michael Harnett, 1888, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Still-life painter William Michael Harnett excelled at trompe l’oeil, painting that fools the eye, through realistic depiction. In For Sunday’s Dinner, a chicken hangs in front of a painted door with its throat cut and most of its feathers plucked; a few remaining downy spots stand out against the puckered, pimpled flesh. The metal door hinges, on the right side of the canvas, frame the chicken and echo its form. The painting’s title and the rough, blemished surface of the door suggest a country dinner, the homey meal evoking nostalgia for a simpler past. Wilson L. Mead Fund Size: 94.3 × 53.6 cm (37 1/8 × 21 1/8 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

Just Dessert, William Michael Harnett, 1891, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

One of only three works William Michael Harnett painted in the year before his death, Just Dessert offers the viewer a display of foodstuffs sumptuously arranged on a marble surface. The traditional tabletop composition is one that Harnett often employed in his still lifes. In Just Dessert, the exotic clashes with the quotidian—Maraschino liqueur, half a coconut, and Smyrna figs rest alongside a copperpitcher, pewter tankard, and ginger jar. Small crumbs of cork are visible on the grapes and fig seeds are smashed on the side of the wooden box, indicating that the dessert has been eaten, as well as highlighting Harnett’s skillful renderings in trompe l’oeil (fool-the-eye) painting.
