EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Gowe Ferguson's masterpiece, "Still Life and Dead Game" created around 1680. The image showcases a close-up view of a dark and atmospheric scene, featuring an array of beautifully painted game birds suspended upside down. In the foreground, a white puppy gazes curiously at the lifeless creatures, adding a touch of innocence to this otherwise somber composition. Ferguson's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he skillfully portrays the textures and colors of each bird with remarkable precision. The artist's use of oil on canvas brings depth and richness to the overall piece, creating an almost lifelike quality that draws viewers into his world. Originally part of Frederick John Nettleford's extensive collection, this artwork now finds its place in C. Reginald Grundy's comprehensive catalogue from 1935. Its inclusion in such esteemed publications solidifies its significance within British art history during the seventeenth century. The juxtaposition between life and death depicted in this painting invites contemplation on mortality itself – a concept that transcends time and remains relevant even today. This thought-provoking image serves as a testament to Ferguson's artistic prowess while offering viewers an opportunity for introspection through its powerful symbolism.
