These paintings tell my story and my memories, but my intentions are to bring you back to nights that you’ll always remember. Whether it was a funny date gone wrong or the last meal with a loved one, I hope that my colors and playful style evoke similar emotions as they did for me.

About "I am a professional food and still life photographer with over 30 years experience based in New York City. My attention to detail and strong sense of composition has allowed me to acquire a noteworthy client list in the advertising, editorial and publishing worlds. I came to the photographic world through my passion for artists such as Edward Weston, Paul Strand, and Aaron Siskind. My commercial work has taught me the craft of photography and with this knowledge I have continued to produce my own personal projects outside of the commercial world. My work has had gallery representation in New York as well as being exhibited in museums and group shows in both America and Europe. When working on my personal projects, I find myself gravitating to organic forms and capturing their nuanced beauty. My work investigates light, shape, and time through these organic forms. I carefully select and study my subjects and then wait. In this months-long waiting process, the aging subjects morph into new sculptural forms that I then document with a singularity. The resulting photographs become portraits of inanimate objects infused with life, portraits that instill empathy in the viewer." Beth Galton

"Still Life with Flowers in a Glass Vase," by Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1650-1683) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 7" x 10.5") • 12" x 16" (Image: 9.25" x 14") • 16" x 20" (Image: 11.25" x 17") • 20" x 30" (Image: 16" x 24.13") • 24" x 36" (Image: 19" x 28.69") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK In 1909 German art historian Wilhelm von Bode wrote that “…we find with de Heem that genuinely Dutch, loving interest for nature, for the peculiarity of every plant and every fruit, for form and appearance, and the most sedulous rendering of the impressions won.” One of the most celebrated still life artists of his time, de Heem’s works are characterized by their accuracy, brilliance and harmony of color, and use of allegorical elements to illustrate moral and spiritual principles. The son of painter David de Heem the Elder, he was born into an artistic family in Utrecht, but resided for much of his career in Antwerp, where he was influenced by Jan Brueghel and Daniel Seghers. Around 1659-1666 he collaborated with Jan Vermeer van Utrecht on a portrait of Prince William III surrounded by a cartouche of flowers, which sold for 2,000 guilders; one of the highest prices paid for a painting during the Dutch Golden Age. His commercial success allowed him to train several noteworthy apprentices, including Abraham Mignon, Andries Benedetti and Alexander Coosemans, and well as his sons Cornelis and Jan. ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.

"After Severin Roesen No. 0305" by Claire Rosen is a quiet still life scene that features an abundant flower bouquet bursting out of an elegant blue and white vase. This rich, photographic take on traditional 17th century still life painting presents viewers with a visual reprieve that delights. "After Severin Roesen No. 0305" comes from a brand new series by Rosen entitled "Persephone's Feast." Dimensions reference image size and price refers to unframed print; please contact gallery for more information. According to the artist: "Memento mori, a Latin expression, is a reminder of death's inevitability, a reminder that is at the heart of the still life painting tradition. Still life or nature morte, literally “dead nature” in French, is rooted in the Middle Ages and ancient Greco-Roman art. Sixteenth and seventeenth century still life painters in the Vanitas tradition communicated the impermanence of life through canvas. These visual feasts were infused with potent symbolism that spoke of the brevity of life and profound futility of earthly existence. Skulls, pocket-watches, and the dripping wax of waning candles reminded viewers that time on earth is ephemeral. Rotting foods and other fading sensory delights carried a moral message about the short-lived nature of pleasure. Objects from the natural world were leveraged to convey different messages – the butterfly, transformation, the ant, hard work. At a time when exploration was driving the fetishization of the exotic, still lifes elevated the everyday and the ordinary. The realities of our digital world have made the core message embedded in the still life more relevant than ever. This series of still life imagery, follows in the footsteps of the masters of the Baroque period, harnessing the symbolism of objects to illustrate the fleeting quality of time and the transience of life. These compositions focus on light, color, texture, and atmosphere, and are a stark contrast to the saturated, high-volume of our fast-paced modern life. Viewers are invited to meditate on the dignity, beauty, and purpose in each object, all of which evoke one essential point. This too shall pass. The still life captures what is constant in the natural world, including the inevitable truth of our impermanence. The images in our virtual lives reflect the cult of ‘the moment’ – where sensory pleasures are captured, elevated, and shared at a dizzying rate. This onslaught can cause us to conflate ubiquity with importance, as we share in the cult of the fleeting that has made its house of worship on social media networks. These still life images aim not to grab your attention, but hold your attention. In the age of distraction, they allow us to focus on what is essential. They are a reminder that we are ships passing in the night, and must mindfully choose how we devote our brief and precious time on earth." Claire Rosen is an internationally recognized and widely collected artist, her portfolio of elaborate tableaus often feature anthropomorphic animals, archetypal heroines, or still-lives steeped in symbolism that’s evocative of classical European painting. Though the work is rooted in traditional themes and aesthetics, it is intended to create dialogue around contemporary issues such as environmental conservation and the need for animal advocacy. Claire twice earned a place on Forbes “30 under 30” list for Art & Design. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, Smithsonian Magazine, Communication Arts, Aesthetica, Fast Company, Slate Magazine, The Washington Post. The Guardian, Harper’s Magazine, NPR, PDN and Refinery29. She has exhibited worldwide, from New York and London to Seoul. Her first solo museum show was at SCAD Savannah Museum of Art and her work has been included in juried and group shows at Annenberg Space for Photography, Aperture Gallery, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Consensus, MOPLA, and five years on the Photoville Fence. In addition, Claire travels throughout the world, speaking about the creative process. Her book, IMAGINARIUM: The Process Behind the Pictures, covers the artistic practice of photography. Claire graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2006 and Bard College at Simon's Rock in 2003. She is currently restoring the historic Warwick Furnace Farm with her family in rural Chester County, PA.

Because… they add colour to your home and it looks great on a plain white wall. I once spotted this huge print of an antique oil painting with a still life of beautiful flowers at Pol’s Potten, but it costs more than € 700,-… A ‘little’ bit over budget for me ;-). But, how it works […]
