Still Life with Fruit c. 1860

"Still Life with Fruit" by Severin Roesen, painted around 1860, showcases the artist's meticulous detail and mastery of realism. The painting depicts a lavish array of fruit, including peaches, grapes, cherries, and a pineapple, arranged on a marble table. A glass of wine and a bird add a touch of elegance to the scene. Roesen, known for his still lifes of fruit and flowers, was a prominent American artist who captured the beauty and vibrancy of nature through his art. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the artist's characteristic style and enduring legacy.
