William Michael Harnett

American painter of Irish origin, active in the 19th century and considered one of the leading exponents of trompe-l'oeil in the United States. He is remembered for his still lifes of everyday objects painted with extreme realism, which sought to deceive the viewer's eye regarding the three-dimensionality of what was depicted.
