About The Rambling Epicure
Founded by Jonell Galloway in 2009, The Rambling Epicure started out as a Geneva-based international food chronicle, the first online journal to follow global food trends and news. It gathered the voices of notable food writers and artists from around the world to treat various interests, including a mindful, responsible approach to real food shopping, cooking, and eating, as well as food politics, history, art, literature and philosophy.
Expanding on that work, in May of 2014, The Rambling Epicure joined forces with the Cambridge-based writer and teacher Elatia Harris, chef/owner of Lucy’s Mom’s Cuisine. Jonell and Elatia re-visioned The Rambling Epicure as a hub for food writing in all its forms, with offerings to writers at every level. If you are a professional writer, a student, or a food writer-in-waiting, join our community for the pleasure of it and for our menu of affordable and innovative services to writers.

Food Art: Still Life with Mouse, by Giovanna Garzoni (Italian Baroque Era Painter, 1600-1670), Rome
Garzone was one the first women painters to paint still lifes. Collectors loved her work, and she was able to immediately sell all she produced at just about any price she named. Garzone painted on vellum. She worked mainly for aristocratic patrons, such as the Medici family, and often took decorating commissions in their villas and palaces. She was most likely influenced by Jacopo Ligozzi, who was a botanical and zoological painter for the Medici court. Garzoni bequeathed all her work to the painters’ guild in Rome, the Accademia di San Luca, in exchange for the right to be buried there. Source: Getty Museum

Food Art: Still Life with Geraniums, painting by Henri Matisse
Food Art: Still Life with Geraniums, painting by Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse painted “Still Life With Geranium” in 1906, when he was considered the “King of Fauvism.”It was the first Matisse painting to be purchased for a public exhibition.
An everyday subject matter is depicted in primary colors, thus infusing it with energy and emotion. At the same time, it resembles traditional decorative art.
Matisse was the leader of the Fauvist movement, and used vivid, primary colors long before his contemporaries. The colors always lent a sense of turbulent emotion to his work.
The term “Fauve” means literally “wild beast”. Another prominent member of this movement was André Derain.
