Catalogue Note
Christiaen van Pol was a Dutch still-life specialist who formed part of the generation of painters who were influenced by Jan van Huysum. Along with Jan Frans van Dael, Cornelis van Spaendonck, and Gerard van Spaendonck, van Pol worked in a classic painting style that prized the intense observation of nature and near microscopic rendering of material surfaces, all combined with a bright and vivacious palette. Van Pol collaborated with van Dael on a series of decorative projects for the châteaux in Bellevue, Chantilly and St. Cloud, though his easel canvases from the late 18th and early 19th centuries are his best known artistic accomplishments.
