Still Life with Apples and Pitcher (1872) by Camille Pissarro

Still Life with Apples and Pitcher (1872) — Camille Pissarro

A white cloth, a humble jug, apples gathered like quiet suns. Pissarro turns the everyday into lyric balance—natural light, measured colour, and brushwork that breathes. The result is intimate, calm, and beautifully composed. This fine-art print brings 19th-century poise to any room.

Why it captivates

• Everyday poetry — simple objects arranged with dignified clarity.

• Natural light — soft illumination that lets colours glow without glare.

• Harmonic palette — warm reds and ochres set against cool whites and greys.

• Tactile surface — lively strokes that resolve beautifully at viewing distance.

• Impressionist restraint — freshness without fuss, elegance without excess.

• Statement artwork — a serene focal point for living rooms, dining spaces, and studies.

What you’ll see

A ceramic pitcher beside a cluster of apples on a gently draped cloth; quiet reflections along the jug’s curve; subtle shifts of light across fruit and fabric; a balanced tabletop arrangement that reads as both study and story. Up close: crisp edges and feathery transitions. From a step back: a calm, luminous tableau.

A richer historical frame

Painted in 1872, this still life sits within Pissarro’s Impressionist decade, when he explored everyday subjects with clear light and economical means. While renowned for landscapes, his still lifes reveal the same humane attention—truthful colour, measured composition, and the grace of ordinary things.
