EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Gabriel Orm's Trompe l'oeil masterpiece, "Two bats nailed to a timber wall". The painting, created in 1738, depicts an incredibly realistic scene of two bats suspended by nails on a weathered wooden surface. Orm's attention to detail is truly remarkable as he captures every intricate feature of these nocturnal creatures. The knife and quill pen placed beside the bats add an intriguing element to the composition, inviting viewers to ponder their significance. The artwork is executed using oil on paper or vellum mounted on metal, giving it a unique texture and depth. Its dimensions are 29.4 cm in height and 19.6 cm in width, making it a compact yet impactful piece. A notable inscription reading "174" can be found on a paper note attached at the back of the painting, adding historical value to this extraordinary work. Additionally, Orm's signature "G. E. Orn 1738" can be seen etched onto the handle of the knife. This particular photograph emphasizes every delicate brushstroke and color variation present in Orm's original creation. It beautifully captures the essence of his trompe l'oeil technique that tricks our eyes into perceiving three-dimensional objects within a two-dimensional space. Whether you appreciate art for its aesthetic beauty or its ability to challenge perception, this print serves as an exquisite addition to any art lover's collection.
