"Flute and Times" is a notable still life painting by the Irish-American artist William Michael Harnett, who is renowned for his meticulous and highly realistic depictions of everyday objects. Created in 1883, this painting exemplifies Harnett's skill in trompe-l'œil, a technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions.

The composition of "Flute and Times" is a masterful arrangement of a flute, a newspaper, and other small items, all rendered with extraordinary detail and precision. Harnett's ability to capture the textures and surfaces of different materials—such as the metallic sheen of the flute, the crinkled paper of the newspaper, and the subtle play of light and shadow—demonstrates his technical prowess and keen observational skills. The painting invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in mundane objects, elevating them to subjects worthy of artistic contemplation.

Harnett's work is often associated with the American still life tradition of the late 19th century, a period when artists sought to explore themes of materialism, transience, and the passage of time through their depictions of inanimate objects. "Flute and Times" can be seen as a reflection on these themes, with the newspaper symbolizing the fleeting nature of current events and the flute representing the timeless quality of music and art.

The painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its ability to engage viewers in a dialogue about the nature of reality and illusion. Harnett's work, including "Flute and Times," remains influential in the realm of still life painting, inspiring subsequent generations of artists to explore the boundaries between art and life.
