Raymond Campbell Lithographic Print “chambertin 1945”

Raymond Campbell Lithographic Print “CHAMBERTIN 1945”. Four time Royal Academy of Arts exhibitor Raymond Campbell is one of the country’s leading still life artists. Full of fascination and indulgence, Campbell’s paintings have revived the still life genre and brought it elegantly into the 21st century. Initially turning down the chance of formal training at art school, Campbell’s notable talent led him to become a full-time professional artist at the age of twenty-two. Before starting his career as a professional artist, he travelled throughout Europe to study the paintings and techniques of the Old Masters. Of all the paintings he encountered, it was the still life of the 17th Century Dutch painters that captivated and inspired Campbell the most. The influence of these 17th century Dutch paintings has remained deeply rooted in Raymond Campbell’s decade-spanning body of still life work, curious paraphernalia arrangements reminiscent of the traditional banquet paintings of the 17th century have become his signature. These luxurious tableaux brim with detailed precision and classically “Campbell-esque” contents, including vintage wine bottles, ripe fruits and rich cheeses. This Lithographic print, in a great wooden frame is a wonderful example. Check it out. Dimensions Print 54 cm x 39 cm Frame 68 cm x 54 cm
