Raymond Campbell (British, b. 1956) Still Life with 1988 Domaine Jean Grivot Wine - This original oil on panel painting is a contemporary realist still life by British artist Raymond Campbell, executed in 1999. The composition is reminiscent of the traditional still life works of artists such as Zoltan Preiner, featuring a bottle of 1988 Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Roncières red wine, a stemware glass partially filled with wine, and a single ripe plum. The artwork is set against a neutral, shadowed background that emphasizes the meticulously rendered reflections on the glass and the dark surface of the wine bottle. The artist captures the fine details of the wine label and the translucent quality of the red liquid with sophisticated handling of light and texture. The work is signed in dark pigment at the lower right. It is housed in an ornate silver-toned molded wood frame featuring a wide, tiered off-white inner liner.
