PHILIPPE ROUSSEAU. Still Life with Ham

Still Life with Ham. Artist: Philippe Rousseau (French, Paris 1816-1887 Acquigny). Dimensions: 28 3/4 x 36 1/4 in. (73 x 92.1 cm). Date: 1870s. This composition combines Rousseau's admiration for eighteenth-century still life painting with an emphasis on contemporary, everyday details, such as the copy of the newspaper <i>Le Figaro</i> at left and the letter at center, addressed to the artist at his home in Acquigny in northern France. The succulent ham is garnished with a sprig of bay leaves. Still lifes such as this brought Rousseau great success in fashionable circles; the present picture may have been exhibited at the Salon of 1877 as <i>Le Déjeuner</i> (The Lunch).
