Trompe l'Oeil Painting
|
|
 |
| Born in Philadelphia and living there for most of his career, Milne Ramsey was a still life, landscape, and figure painter and remains best known for his highly realistic still lifes, some of them in the trompe l'oeil style. However, his version of trompe l'oeil seemed uniquely his own as his use of color was quite aggressive, and his paintings combined objects rendered in trompe l'oeil with others that were less precise. He had particular skill in detailed arrangement and composition of objects (showing 500 of 3860 characters). |
