Can Old Master Art Experts Recreate a Dutch Still Life by Hand? | Sotheby’s

At first glance, these paintings look effortless. A pipe abandoned mid-smoke, fruit just beginning to soften, porcelain placed as if by chance. But Dutch still lifes were never casual. Our art specialists challenge each other to take two paintings—'Toebackje Still Life' and 'Still Life with Assorted Fruit, Including Wild Strawberries and Cherries in Two Porcelain Bowls'—by Pieter Claesz off the wall and attempt to rebuild them by hand, using their fine art expertise and real objects to test just how deliberate these compositions truly are. Carefully assembled over several decades, Light and Life: The Lester L. Weindling Collection comprises only twelve paintings, each superlative in their respective genres, by the leading masters of the Dutch and Flemish Golden Age. These pieces will take part in Sotheby’s New York Old Masters Week, presented by Qatar Executive, as highlights of Light and Life: The Lester L. Weindling Collection Auction, held live in New York on 5 February at 10:00 AM EST.
