Johann Wilhelm Preyer and his daughter Emilie are certainly among the most important German still life painters of the 19th century. Johann Wilhelm Preyer received comprehensive training at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf from 1822, initially under Peter Cornelius and then as a master student of Wilhelm Schadow. From the late 1820s onwards, he concentrated on still lifes. The young artist travelled to Holland and Italy for around 10 years, also living in Munich for a few years during this time before settling back in Düsseldorf in 1844. Still lifes were held in rather low esteem in academy circles. However, Johann Wilhelm Preyer was soon able to overcome this. His works quickly met with great success among the public, critics and collectors. His technical virtuosity in painting, with which he was able to reproduce the plasticity of objects and the texture of surfaces, fascinated viewers just as much as the special mood of light (catalogue 1268) and the strict composition of his works. The paintings in which Johann Wilhelm Preyer arranged grapes next to their alcoholic products in fine glasses are also very popular (catalogue 1269 and 1270). The demand for Preyer's paintings eventually became so great that he painted to order for domestic and foreign customers and lived in secure prosperity. Johann Wilhelm Preyer himself did not attend the academy as a teacher, instead giving private painting lessons, mainly to female pupils. When the artistic talent of his daughter Emilie, born in 1849, became apparent, she was denied official training as a woman. Fortunately, she had a 'painter father' who encouraged her great talent. He trained her and was also able to recruit fellow artists and professors Heinrich Mücke and Hans Fredrik Gude as private teachers for his daughter. Emilie Preyer is certainly her father's best pupil and a worthy successor. At the highest level of painting technique, she largely followed her father in her choice of motifs. As her particular speciality, she uses the batiste tablecloth as a base for the arranged fruit. Her daughter's paintings differ from her father's in their treatment of light in particular. In Johann Wilhelm Preyer's works, there is always a defined incidence of light, but his arranged objects seem to be 'enveloped' in light. Emilie usually illuminates her motifs more harshly, almost objectively. In doing so, she explored a way of seeing that would be influential in the 1920s. Emilie Preyer certainly benefited from her father's fame and his contacts with dealers and collectors, but she soon succeeded in being recognised as a successful artist in her own right. In the United States in particular, she had a solid circle of collectors and was able to live independently as a painter by selling her brilliant still lifes.

JOHANN WILHELM PREYER (GERMAN 1803-1889)STILL LIFE WITH GRAPES, PEACHES, APRICOT, HAZLENUTS, A CHAMPAGNE FLUTE AND A FLY ON A DRAPED LEDGEOil on canvasSigned and dated 1865 (lower right)36.5 x 33cm (14¼ x 12 in.)Preyer studied art at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Peter von Cornelius and Wilhelm von Schadow and would become one of the earliest of the group now known as the Düsseldorf school of painting. Between 1835 and 1843 he continued his studies travelling through the Netherlands, Munich, Northern Italy, Switzerland and Tirol. Inspired by the work of Rachel Ruysch (1664-1750) and the tradition of other seventeenth century still life painters such as Kalf, Claesz. and Heda, he turned to the minute and carefully detailed painting of flowers and fruit. Today he is considered to be one of best artists of the genre in the 19th century and his works are widely collected from Germany to the United States.

Johann Wilhelm Preyer, Still Life with Grapes, Plums and Peaches
Est: €30,000 - €35,000
Signed and dated lower right: WPreyer München 1843 Johann Wilhelm Preyer, born in Rheydt in Westphalia in 1803, studied painting at the nearby Düsseldorf Academy. He decided to paint still lifes already as a young artist and remained faithful to the genre throughout his life. Preyer thus became the most important German still-life painter in the 19th century. With few exceptions, his entire oeuvre consists almost exclusively of still lifes. Among them are mainly fruits - plums, mirabelles, peaches, bunches of grapes together with some leaves, occasionally some nuts and more rarely a wine goblet - which he arranges on a stone slab. Preyer's pictures are carefully planned ensembles of impressive objectivity and calm. He achieves this through the precisely observed appearance of the items depicted and a superb painting technique. Preyer denies himself any personal emotion or ductus. His unmistakable style is the result of this objectivity. Thus his arrangements are seldom in defined pictorial spaces and almost always lack a specific light source and are therefore illuminated, as it were, from within by a neutral, uniform light. Wilhelm Preyer moved to Munich in 1837 with Johann Peter Hasenclever for further training. There, in 1840, King Ludwig I acquired the famous painting "Bockbier-Glas" for the Schleißheim Gallery. He returned to Düsseldorf in autumn 1843. This painting, dated 1843 and painted in Munich, must therefore have been one of the last works from this period.

Catalogued and Illustrated in: Siegfried Weiß, Hans Paffrath (Ed.), Johann Wilhelm (1803–1889) and Emilie (1849–1930) Preyer, Düsseldorf 2009, p. 198, no. 130 (colorplate p. 95). Johann Wilhelm Preyer was a prominent still life painter from the Düsseldorf School of Painting. Originally from Rheydt, Preyer studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with fellow painter Peter von Cornelius, and as a master student of Wilhelm von Schadow. Preyer was a part of the German Romantic movement, but travelled to Italy, Holland and Switzerland which allowed him to develop a versatile and accomplished artistic style. He often returned to previous compositions rearranging its various elements. His focus was to paint his still lifes with fine detail and in a highly naturalistic manner. Preyer often used brown and yellow tones but also included a subtle light source, allowing him to play with shading and lighter tints. This painting makes no exception. With invisible brushstrokes, Preyer makes the light interact with the transparency of the glass and the sparkling wine, as well as representing the opacity of the grapes. He paints the bubbles in the glass and the insect eating away at the fruit, hinting at a human presence.

JOHANN WILHELM PREYER Weintrauben.,Öl auf Karton, auf Pappe aufgezogen. 17,5 : 13 cm. Gerahmt.,,Der Düsseldorfer Johann Wilhelm Preyer steht wie kein anderer Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts für die Wiederbelebung des Früchtestilllebens in der Tradition der niederländischen Feinmalerei des 17. Jahrhunderts. Im Gegensatz aber zu den niederländischen Stillleben, die immer auch als „memento mori“ fungierten, verzichtet Preyer auf diesen Aspekt und lässt allein die Virtuosität seiner Malerei sprechen. Das kleinformatige Gemälde mit der Darstellung einer Weintraube verdeutlicht seine besondere Fähigkeit zur Wiedergabe der Stofflichkeit der Trauben im Licht, und ist ein Beispiel für die besonderen haptischen Qualitäten, die Preyers Werke bei Sammlern seiner Zeit, zu denen u. a. auch König Ludwig I. von Bayern gehörte, begehrt machten.

This is emphasized in the present composition with regard to details such as the furry skin of the peaches and the fine structure of the leaves on the twig. Preyer’s works are also highly-sought after due to their vivid coloring and virtuoso play of light. Condition: The painting is in very good condition, consistent with age. The canvas is relined and covered with narrow strips of adhesive tape along the edges. Inspection under UV light reveals a few retouchings to the background and the fruits. The stretcher measures 24.2 x 31.1 cm and the frame 29.5 x 36 cm. Johann Wilhelm Preyer (1803-1889) Johann Wilhelm Preyer was one of the few representatives of the Düsseldorf School, who were specialized in still life painting. He started his artistic training at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf in 1822 and attended the classes of Peter von Cornelius and Wilhelm von Schadow. He gained first artistic recognition in 1830, when he participated in the great academic art exhibitions in Berlin. In 1835 he traveled to Holland, where he was able to study Dutch Old Master paintings. From 1837 Preyer was active in Munich, together with his brother Gustav and his friends Johann Peter Hasenclever and Theodor Janssen. King Ludwig I of Bavaria was fascinated by his artistic output and finally bought one of his beautiful still life compositions. In 1840 Preyer continued travelling to Italy and Switzerland, but finally decided to settle in Düsseldorf in 1848. Examples of his works can be found, for instance, in the Nationalgalerie in Berlin and at the Kunstmuseum in Düsseldorf.
