“The Old Violinâ€,
1887 a framed chromolithograph
Group B7, L Framed
William Michael Harnett was the best-known and most influential still-life painter in America during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The Old Violin, 1866, from the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and reproduced in this poster, was in its time his most widely reproduced, most imitated, and most famous image. Stories of police controlling the crowds that it attracted when exhibited, particularly to restrain those who wanted to touch it to confirm the reality of its illusion, are almost folkloric. Today it is universally considered not only a masterpiece by this artist
The public was fascinated by The Old Violin, the somber tromped l'oeil still life created by William Harnett in 1886. People would reach out to touch the violin or try to grasp the envelope to determine if the objects were real or painted. Thanks to a widely distributed chromolithograph, The Old Violin would become an icon of American art, inspiring a group of illusionist painters—including John F. Peto—to make their own versions.
