Durand L.

Durand L. is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Historical & Ethnological Society of Greece.

Asparagus spears and lace collars fascinated him. This 19th-century painter couldn’t leave the still life alone, turning fruit into velvet and silver into air. He once spent a whole summer painting the same bowl of peaches, chasing the light that made their fuzz glow. Find him through his Portrait of Eliza N. Lurioti—where the sitter’s black dress seems to drink the shadows around her.
