Apple Harvest 1888

"Apple Harvest" (1888) by Camille Pissarro is a quintessential example of the artist's pointillist style. The painting depicts a group of figures in a field, engaged in the task of gathering apples. Pissarro’s use of small, distinct dots of color creates a sense of vibrancy and movement, capturing the dappled sunlight and the bustling activity of the harvest. The composition emphasizes the natural beauty of the landscape and the human figures in their everyday tasks, showcasing the artist's interest in the effects of light and color on the rural life.
