Pieter Claesz, 1640 - Still Life with a Stoneware Jug, Berkemeyer, and Smoking - fine art print

General specifications by Indianapolis Museum of Art (© - by Indianapolis Museum of Art - Indianapolis Museum of Art)

Gallery label: Pieter Claesz is one of the most important still life painters of the 17th century. His compositions of ordinary objects are characterized by their harmonious restraint and carefully observed simplicity. This painting features a stoneware jug, a glass berkemeyer, a pipe, a snuff box, dice and shells, objects associated with recreational pursuits like smoking, drinking, gaming and collecting. The monochrome tonality of the still life reflects a general tendency in Dutch painting that can be seen in landscapes of the 1640s by painters like Jan van Goyen and Simon de Vlieger.

About the item

Select the item material you would like to have

The product dropdown menu provides you with the possibility to pick your prefered size and material. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Print on glossy acrylic glass: A glossy acrylic glass print, often referred to as a plexiglass print, transforms your favorite original work of art into beautiful décor. Our acrylic glass protects your custom art print against light and external influences for between 40-60 years.
• The canvas print: A canvas print, not to be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is a digital replica applied directly on cotton canvas. It produces a typical effect of three-dimensionality. A canvas creates a cosy and appealing ambience. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the help of extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suitable for any type of wall.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a material with a true effect of depth - for a modern impression and non-reflective surface. The white & bright parts of the work of art shine with a silky gloss but without any glare. The colors are luminous, the fine details of the print are crisp. The print on Aluminum Dibond is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly sophisticated way to showcase fine art prints, since it draws focus on the artwork.
• Printed poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed canvas paper with a fine structure on the surface. A print poster is used for placing your art print with the help of a special frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm around the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
