William Harnett and Trompe l’Oeil Painting

Aneta Georgievska-Shine, professor of art history, University of Maryland

(Reception 10:30 - 11 am)


An Irishman by birth, William Harnett (1848-1892) is arguably the most important still-life painter in America of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Using illusionistic techniques with painstaking attention to every detail, he became the most famous practitioner of this genre during his lifetime. His accomplishments impressed not only the public but had a decisive influence on a whole range of other painters of his generation.
