John Haberle

John Haberle (1856–1933) was an American painter in the trompe-l'œil (literally, "fool the eye") style. His yet lifes of run of the mill objects are painted in such a pretentiousness that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves. He is considered one of the three major figures—together similar to William Harnett and John F. Peto—practicing this form of still life painting in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century.
