More about this artwork

This engaging piece by Édouard Manet, titled "Two Apples," is an exquisite example of simplicity and skill in still life painting. Captured with delicate care, this painting presents two apples resting unassumingly on a muted brown surface. The apples, one slightly in the foreground, display a range of subtle colors—a testament to Manet’s keen observation of light and shadow.The apple in the forefront leans gently towards the viewer, its tones of green merging into yellow with a blush of red, while the other apple, set slightly back, introduces a deeper interplay of the same hues under different light. The artist’s light brushstrokes illustrate the apple's tender, smooth texture, inviting one to reach out and touch its surface.Though small in scale, this piece beautifully showcases Manet's ability to evoke depth and realism through minimalistic compositions. This work makes a wonderful example of the beauty found in everyday objects, a frequent theme in Manet's broader oeuvre.

Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a French modernist painter and one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life. His impressionist style is characterized by relatively small and thin brushstrokes that create emphasis on light depiction. Manet was one of the key artists in the transition from realism to impressionism, along with Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. However, he resisted involvement in any one specific style of painting, and only presented his work to the Salon of Paris instead of impressionist exhibitions. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia, created great controversy and served as a rallying point for other young painters.
