Description: | Signed: yes Description: This is one of three still-lifes by Courbet in the collection of Glasgow Museums painted during the artist's short period of confinement at the Sainte-Pélagie prison in Paris during the winter of 1871. Denied the chance to work outside, Courbet executed still-lifes after the gifts of fruit and flowers brought to him by his sisters and friends. Fruit was never a subject that Courbet had attempted before, yet in this small work he conveys the sheer volume of the firm pear, rounded orange and dimpled apple. The warm tones of the pear and orange are strikingly contrasted with the green leaves. | Subjects: | still life (fruit) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Courbet, Gustave (French painter and designer, 1819-1877) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8803... | Go to resource |
