William Michael Harnett
William Michael Harnett (1848-1892) was an Irish-American painter celebrated for his trompe-l'œil renderings of still life objects, which masterfully deceived the eye by simulating three-dimensional reality on a two-dimensional canvas. Born in Clonakilty, Ireland, Harnett moved to Philadelphia as a child. He later trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and subsequently moved to New York, where he developed his distinctive style. His meticulously detailed compositions of books, newspapers, and various household items gained him fame and recognition. Harnett's work is a key example of the American still life genre in the late 19th century, blending technical skill with intricate detail to challenge viewers' perceptions of reality.
