About the Item

The third series of photographs by fine Taxidermists Sinke Van Tongeren After observing and analysing so many 17th-century paintings, they were inspired to create a new series of work focused on still life masterpieces. They chose photography as the medium to portray their fine Taxidermy work interpreted through vanitas still lifes. The collection, ‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’, comprises eight works. Vanitas still lifes were enormously popular in the 17th century, often inspired by biblical themes and the saying that “All is vanity”. It reminded the viewer of his or her own mortality. For these series of still lifes Sinke van Tongeren not only created meaningful scenes of taxidermy, they also mined their enormous collection of great finds to gather the most beautiful and unusual antiques to complement each scene. Title of this work: ‘TROMPE-L'OWL’ Over the years we have seen so many intriguing painted optical illusions. With this antique, gilded, three-dimensional window frame, we take you to an ancient castle where the trophy of the hunt is being displayed. Of course a Great Grey Owl would be an unusual catch, but we love the colors, shape and beautiful patterns. Although it is most certainly dead, it still seems to frighten the white hedgehog in front.

VAT The works of Dutch artists Sinke and van Tongeren are inspired by golden age old master painters like d' Hondecoeter, Weenix, Snyders and others.

About DSVT collection: CNN: 'The men who turned taxidermy into strangely beguiling art.' Financial Times: 'The stuffed that dreams are made of.'
