Cecil Romey was a skilled 20th-century artist whose 84-year life spanned from the late Victorian era through the modern age. Working primarily in the mid-20th century, Romey demonstrated exceptional versatility across multiple artistic media and subjects.
He is best known for his delicate botanical watercolors, featuring meticulously rendered studies of roses, lilies, and other garden subjects executed in soft pastel tones. These works reflect the tradition of botanical illustration while maintaining strong aesthetic appeal, balancing scientific accuracy with artistic beauty.
Romey also excelled in oil painting, creating accomplished still life compositions and pastoral landscapes in the classical academic tradition. His oil works show clear influences from Dutch and French masters, with particular attention to light, texture, and carefully arranged compositions. Notable examples include elaborate fruit still lifes with overturned baskets, demonstrating his mastery of traditional techniques.
Despite working during an era of radical artistic experimentation, Romey maintained a representational practice rooted in direct observation and technical excellence. His works are documented in professional art market databases including Artprice and MutualArt, and continue to appear in estate sales and private collections. Romey's signature "C. Romey" appears consistently on his works, marking a professional career dedicated to craftsmanship and beauty.
This is a still-life painting depicting a variety of fruits spilling from a wicker basket onto a table with a white and red cloth. The artwork follows the classical still-life tradition, emphasizing realism, light, and texture.
⭐Structural Analysis⭐
The overturned basket creates a dynamic sense of movement as the fruits spill onto the table.
The arrangement of the fruits forms a balanced composition, with larger fruits acting as focal points.
The diagonal lines of the tablecloth add depth and perspective.
The whole composition fits in a triangular shape. (see picture)
⭐Color and texture Analysis⭐
Warm, earthy tones dominate the painting, with yellows, oranges, and reds providing a sense of richness.
The dark purple grapes contrast beautifully against the lighter fruits.
The background is muted and dark, which enhances the vibrancy of the fruits
The artist uses chiaroscuro (strong contrasts of light and dark) to create depth.
Highlights on the fruits give them a three-dimensional appearance.
Shadows beneath the fruits and basket ground them in space.
The smoothness of the apples and pears contrasts with the rough texture of the wicker basket.
The grapes have a glossy appearance, suggesting ripeness.
The chestnuts and their spiky shells add a variety of textures.
⭐Symbolism⭐
Fruits as Symbols: Traditionally, fruits in still-life paintings symbolize abundance, the passage of time, and the transience of life.
Basket and Tablecloth: The woven basket represents rustic simplicity, while the patterned cloth adds elegance.
Dark Background: This technique draws focus to the central elements and adds a dramatic effect.
