Pieter Claesz was one of the most famous still life painters and had a decisive influence on the genre in the 17th century. In its current production, the Kaiserschild Art Defined project by Kaiserschild Foundation focuses on the oeuvre of Pieter Claesz. Aspects of the artist’s work and the historical context are explained using high-quality digitalizations of selected Claesz paintings.
Pieter Claesz Still Lifes
With the Kaiserschild Art Defined project, the Kaiserschild Foundation makes fine art accessible to the public by means of high-quality digital reproductions.
At the center of the current production is Dutch master Pieter Claesz, who had a decisive influence on still life painting and occupies an important place in the art collection of the Kaiserschild Foundation.
Selected works from Claesz’s oeuvre have been digitized in high resolution to provide in-depth insight into painting technique, structure and material. In addition, the project provides insight into the historical contexts and influences to which Pieter Claesz was exposed as well as the impact of his work.
In this project, the Kaiserschild Foundation is cooperating with Alte Galerie in Schloss Eggenberg, part of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien and Kunst Museum Winterthur.
