Franz Werner von Tamm
(Hamburg 1658–1724 Vienna)
Flowers in a vase with grapes and a pomegranate,
oil on canvas, 62 x 45 cm, framed
We are grateful to Fred Meijer for confirming the attribution of the present painting.
Franz Werner von Tamm was trained as a history painter under Johann Pfeiffer. He later switched to decorative flower and fruit painting and lived in Rome between 1685 and 1695, where he worked in the workshop of Mario Nuzzi. The latter’s influence is also betrayed in the present painting. It probably dates from the beginning of von Tamm’s Viennese period (from 1695 onwards). Echoing Italian decorative painting, von Tamm focused on the meticulous rendering of individual flowers in his compositions. This effect of ‘differentiated focusing’ lent his paintings the illusion of spatial depth. Among von Tamm’s patrons were the imperial family and the Prince of Liechtenstein. The Liechtenstein Collection still holds twenty-four of his decorative still lifes.
