    Combining a masterful technique with sly, witty historical and personal references, John Haberle (1856-1933) created trompe l’oeil paintings astonishing in their detail and precision. He is considered one of the most accomplished 19th century American trompe l’oeil painters, but in his lifetime he achieved only brief recognition. This exhibition, organized by the New Britain Museum of American Art, features nearly 20 paintings and drawings from museum collections across the country, including the Brandywine River Museum. Along with its accompanying illustrated catalogue, the exhibition offers a fresh and comprehensive view of this unique, inventive artist. The exhibition is supported by The Henry Luce Foundation, Inc., and its presentation at the Brandywine River Museum is made possible by Bank of America.
