DescriptionWert's background as a scientific illustrator is apparent in his remarkable attention to detail. His realistic still life paintings are a testament to his technical skill. However, his works are more than just beautiful. He breaks from tradition by painting his delicate subjects as fallen or broken, and despite his use of ripe fruits and brightly colored flowers, they remain restrained and distant to the viewer.
