Choose options
Still Life with Cherries and Peaches, painted by Paul Cézanne in 1885-87, presents two white porcelain plates set on a rumpled white cloth: one heaped with dark red cherries, the other holding golden peaches, with a glazed green jar anchoring the composition against a loosely brushed blue-green ground. Cézanne painted this still life during his mature Post-Impressionist period, when he increasingly treated everyday objects as studies in structure, weight, and color relationship rather than illusionistic display. The tilted plate of cherries and the deliberate spacing of the fruit reflect his lifelong preoccupation with balancing volume and flatness on the canvas, a method that would later influence Picasso and Braque’s approach to form.
