Choose options
Grapes and Peach on a Plate, painted by Paul Cézanne in 1877-79 sets a heavy bunch of dark green grapes, stem still attached, beside a single blushed peach on an oval white plate, the whole arrangement resting on a warm ochre tabletop against a muted blue-gray wall. Painted in the years surrounding his participation in the Impressionist exhibitions of 1877, the small canvas already shows Cézanne pulling away from fleeting effects of light toward the weightier, more deliberate handling of form that would define his mature still lifes. The plate's oval rim anchors the composition, giving the scattered fruit a quiet, architectural stability rare in still-life painting of the period.
Artist: Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906). Date: 1877-79.
