Martinus Nellius
}.webp', extensionName: 'dorotheum')})
(documented in 1674 in Leiden, d. after 1706) Still-life of fruit with an open oyster, almanac sheet and butterfly, signed and dated lower centre: Nellius/ 1700 (?), oil on canvas, 24 x 21 cm, framed
Provenance: Galerie Koetser, Zurich; Rhinish private collection. E. Gemar-Koeltzsch (in: Luca Bild-Lexikon, Holländische Stilllebenmaler im 17. Jahrhundert, vol. 3, Lingen 1995, p. 733) writes about Nellius, “Nellius should be accorded an exceptional role in Leiden, since he is a ‘naive intimist’.... Because he lowered the eye-level of all of his pictures down to the edge of the table, the objects depicted turn ... into three-dimensional forms giving the appearance of being tangibly near. Yet Nellius’ particular, almost sfumato-like rendition of light and shade removes all of the objects from haptic proximity and reorders them in a realm of atmospheric appearance beyond concrete materiality...”.
