Apple and Pear, 1909 – Pierre-Auguste Renoir Wall Art | Impressionist Still Life Canvas Print

Painted in 1909 in the final decade of his career, Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Apple and Pear sets a single apple and a single pear on a draped tabletop, the fruit rendered in the warm, fleshy modelling and creamy paint surface that defines his very late style. The painting belongs to the long line of intimate domestic still lifes that Renoir made throughout his life, here pared down to a quiet, almost meditative pairing of two pieces of fruit. By 1909 Renoir was working from a wheelchair in the south of France, his late still lifes prized for their glowing colour and serene simplicity. A warm, contemplative work for any kitchen, dining room, or interior drawn to French Impressionist still life.
