More about this artwork

Welcome to a closer look at one of Camille Pissarro's delightful forays into still life painting, "Still Life with Apples and Pitcher". Created in 1872, this artwork exemplifies Pissarro's masterful touch and eye for the simplicity in beauty, elements that make his work enduringly appealing.In this painting, the scene is an intimate arrangement that features a collection of vibrant, red apples artfully placed on a white plate, which draws the eye with its bright simplicity. These apples, rich in color, hint at the freshness and tangibility of everyday life. Complementing the apples is an elegantly decorated pitcher, adorned with floral motifs that echo the delicacy of the scene. With its subtle colors and refined design, the pitcher adds a touch of rustic charm.Next to the apples, a glass with dark liquid reflects light, adding a depth to the composition and a contrast to the light background. This element subtly introduces a sense of balance and realism to the scene. At the front lies a painting knife, casually placed yet meticulously detailed, suggesting the artist's presence and his active engagement in the creation of art.The setting is completed with a backdrop that features a lightly patterned wall, providing a subtle texture that does not overpower the main subjects of the artwork. This choice ensures that the focus remains firmly on the still life arrangement."Still Life with Apples and Pitcher" is more than just a representation of objects. It is a testament to Pissarro's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, using his brush to explore the interplay of light, texture, and form.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. — Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was born on St.Thomas (now the US Virgin Islands) to a Portuguese father and a Dominican mother. He went to Paris to study art at Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He was an early pioneer of pointillism and neo-impressionism and later became a mentor of many famous impressionist painters including Cezanne, Manet, Renoir, and Gauguin. His paintings depicted rural and urban French landscapes and lifestyle. Many of his works politically captured images of peasants and laborers. Today, he is considered the father of impressionism.
