William Michael Harnett
Still Life Violin and Music, 1888, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
William Michael Harnett was an Irish-American painter who practiced a trompe l’oeil (literally, “fool the eye”) style of realistic painting. His still lifes of ordinary objects, arranged on a ledge or hanging from a nail, are painted in such a way that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves.
