The Parisian painter Antoine Ferdinand Attendu almost exclusively painted still lifes of objects. Kitchen utensils and food are often the subject of his work, true to nature, in dark tones and placed on the canvas with an effective light. Attendu regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon in the period 1870-1905. Given the realistic style, it is surprising in our time that his still lifes were also part of the first Impressionist exhibition at the Parisian art dealer Nadar in 1874. They were fully accepted by the exhibiting artists, including Cézanne, Renoir, Degas and Monet, probably because in his work they perceived an innovative approach, a detachment from the academic tradition.
