Still Life | Paul Gauguin

Still Life with Apples, a Pear, and a Ceramic Portrait Jug (1889) by Paul Gauguin is a masterful still life composition that combines simple, everyday objects with a sense of depth and texture. The painting features vibrant apples, a ripe pear, and a striking ceramic jug adorned with a portrait, creating a harmonious blend of organic forms and crafted objects. Gauguin's use of bold colour contrasts and expressive brushwork highlights the natural beauty of the fruit and the detailed craftsmanship of the jug, reflecting his post-impressionist style. The careful arrangement of these elements creates a sense of quiet intimacy, as if inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the simplicity and elegance of the scene.
