"Pommes: A Celebration of Apples Through Art and Time" Step into the world of pommes, where apples take center stage in various forms of art. From classic paintings to lithographs, these depictions showcase the beauty and significance of this beloved fruit. In "The Apple Gatherers, 1880, " we witness a scene from the past as people diligently collect apples from an orchard. The painting captures their laborious efforts and highlights the importance of apple cultivation throughout history. Moving on to "Still life of apples and biscuits, 1880-82 (oil on canvas), " we see a composition that combines both nature's bounty and human indulgence. Apples are presented alongside biscuits, creating a delightful juxtaposition between healthful sustenance and sweet temptation. Transporting us further back in time is "Hercules killing the dragon of the Hesperides, 1572 (oil on slate). " This mythological artwork features Hercules' legendary quest for golden apples. It reminds us that even in ancient times, apples held great allure and were considered precious treasures. Fast forward to more modern interpretations with "Apples, 1912. " Here, vibrant colors burst forth as juicy red apples steal our attention. Their lusciousness practically jumps off the canvas, tempting us to take a bite ourselves. Delving into culinary delights brings us to "Pommes à la Royale (colour litho). " This print showcases an exquisite dessert made with apples fit for royalty – a testament to how this humble fruit can be transformed into something truly extraordinary. Returning outdoors with "Picking Apples" by Lucien Pissarro engraved for Travaux des Champs depicts workers engaged in harvesting activities amidst picturesque scenery. Their dedication emphasizes not only their connection with nature but also their role in providing nourishment through apple production.
