Eric Christensen’s Holding Court invites you to bask in the grandeur of Napa Valley’s wine culture. Featuring the luxurious wines of Super Tuscan & Castello di Amorosa—most notably the striking 2014 Il Barone—the scene is set in the elegant outdoor courtyard reminiscent of Restoration Hardware Yountville. The composition captures the beauty of a sophisticated wine tasting moment under the dappled shade of an awning, with a crystal chandelier overhead, rich red wines in their glasses, and artisanal cheeses and fruit adding a rustic yet refined touch.
Christensen’s mastery of hyperrealism brings the vibrant hues of the wines and the natural light filtering through the courtyard to life, offering an immersive, lifelike experience. Each bottle label, reflection, and surface has been meticulously rendered, making this painting a true homage to both wine and the Napa lifestyle.
The piece comes custom framed, adding a touch of elegance and ensuring that it is ready to grace the walls of any discerning collector’s home. Holding Court is a testament to fine wine and the Napa Valley way of life. Perfect for collectors who appreciate the finer things in life, it will be a showstopper in any setting.
Artist statement about the piece:
"This setting is reminiscent of an Italian castle from the Renaissance, replete with the trappings of the king’s courtyard garden: sculptured topiaries, a glistening waterfall and crystal chandelier hovering over adornments of gold on a table laden with riches. This royal celebration features two Super Tuscans and a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, surrounded by a complementary pairing of luscious local fruit and imported European cheese. If one were to plan such a festival, there is clearly no better place to be “Holding Court.”
