Aangetaste appel 1836 - 1912

"Aangetaste appel" (Damaged Apple) is a detailed engraving by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, created between 1836 and 1912. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a single, bruised apple, showcasing Weissenbruch's meticulous attention to detail and his interest in the natural world. The realistic depiction of the apple's blemishes and imperfections provides a unique perspective on the beauty of imperfection and the passing of time. The engraving's small size (122 mm x 132 mm) adds to its intimate and introspective quality.
