Still Life with Fruit c. 1880 - 1890

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Still Life with Fruit" is a classic example of the Realist style. Created between 1880 and 1890, this oil on canvas showcases a simple arrangement of fruit, including peaches, pears, figs, and grapes, arranged in a basket and on a plate. The meticulous detail and natural light give the objects a sense of weight and presence, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing the beauty of everyday objects. This intimate still life is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into the artist's mastery of composition and observation.
