Apples and Flowers 1896

"Apples and Flowers" is an oil-on-canvas still life painting created in 1896 by the renowned French Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The painting depicts a simple arrangement of apples and flowers, a common subject matter for Renoir, yet rendered with his signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow on the fruits and petals. The painting, now housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, showcases Renoir's mastery of depicting natural forms with a sense of spontaneity and elegance.
