# Still-Life with Game [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CHARDIN, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 50 x 59 cm ## Commentary After 1750, Chardin returned to still-lifes, with greater scope and magnificent effects, such as the grays and browns of the Still-Life with Game, offset by the russet plumage and gold fruit. This painting is an example of Chardin's characteristically painterly approach to the subject matter of dead rabbits, birds, or other game arranged on a thick stone slab. Textures of fur and feathers are richly worked in the oil paint, and while the illusion is brilliant from a certain distance, a closer look reveals that he paint takes on a life of its own. ## Related artworks - [A Child with a Teetotum]() - [A "Lean Diet" with Cooking Utensils]() - [A Vase of Flowers]() - [Attributes of Music]() - [Basket of Peaches, with Walnuts, Knife and Glass of Wine]() - [Draughtsman]() - [Fruit, Jug, and a Glass]() - [Game Still-Life with Hunting Dog]() - [Girl with Racket and Shuttlecock]() - [Grapes and Pomegranates]() - ['La Brioche' \(Cake\)]() - [La Gouvernante \(The Governess\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
