Apfelernte 1907

"Apfelernte" (Apple Harvest) painted in 1907 by Swiss artist Cuno Amiet, depicts a vibrant scene of apple picking. The painting features a central apple tree laden with fruit, with figures picking apples using ladders and baskets. The bold colors, particularly the contrasting green and red hues, create a sense of energy and life. The composition emphasizes the simple joy and beauty of rural life, capturing a moment of everyday activity in a picturesque setting. This work is a prime example of Amiet's "Expressionist" style, known for its emphasis on color and simplified forms.
