Still life with onions - Eugène Jansson

Quiet still life: the subtle elegance of Still Life with Onions
This composition reveals a delicate mastery of form and light, where the onions gain relief through precise modeling and a sober palette. Ochre and ivory tones respond to each other on a muted background, creating an intimate and almost silent atmosphere. The brushwork, both controlled and vibrant, suggests a technique attentive to nuances of chiaroscuro and surface texture. Contemplating this scene, one feels everyday simplicity elevated to the rank of pictorial study, an invitation to closeness with the painted object.
by Eugène Jansson, a gaze turned towards urban poetry and light
Eugène Jansson, a Swedish painter active at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, is best known for his studies of light and nocturnal visions of Stockholm, as well as for his later portraits and male nudes. Although still life is a less frequent aspect of his repertoire, this work demonstrates his attention to atmospheric rendering and formal simplification inherited from Nordic realism. Influenced by tonal concerns and a sensitivity to atmospheres, Jansson composes here a piece that dialogues with his urban works through chromatic restraint and purity of execution. His approach gives the object an almost sculptural presence.
