Stll Life With Goldfinch

The wall panel "Still Life with Goldfinch" was created on the basis of an oil painting by Josef Lauer. The still life painter and important exponent of the Austrian Biedermeier period almost exclusively painted flowers and fruit still lifes during his career. Departing from the standard practice of painting flowers against a neutral background, Lauer was the only artist of his day to integrate his flower still lifes into a landscape, as in this piece with its lively forest backdrop. Birds and insects fill his works and lend them a natural liveliness and fleeting charm that is, in turn, characteristic of the Biedermeier style - a masterly depiction of the idyll of the forest. For this extract from the original painting, these unique features are given due reverence in an impactful rendition. They are representative of the creative genius of the Austrian Biedermeier artist.

Bringing this painting to life on porcelain requires exceptional skill combined with mastery of a variety of techniques. After a light sketch on the biscuit, the in-glaze paint is used to bring radiant, colourful accents to the piece. After an initial firing, the rich palette of on-glaze paints is applied. These paints lend the image its vivid, lively appearance. A paste-grey passe-partout with delicate gold-plated edges frame the painting, accentuating its brilliance.
