Pears 1880

Edouard Manet's "Pears" (1880) is a still life painting depicting two pears resting on a marble tabletop. The piece showcases Manet's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than meticulous detail. This intimate composition, with its simple subject matter, reflects Manet's interest in everyday objects and his innovative approach to representing light and form. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to imbue the mundane with a sense of beauty and depth.
