About Basket of Peaches

The artwork titled “Basket of Peaches” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour using oil on canvas. This still life painting, measuring 34.5 by 47.5 centimeters, is a notable example of the Realism art movement and is currently held in a private collection.

In this meticulous still life, a basket brimming with peaches is depicted with exquisite detail, reflecting the artist’s devotion to capturing the natural world with photographic precision. The peaches, varying in hue from soft yellows to deep oranges and reds, are arranged in a basket that occupies the center of the composition. Gathered around the basket are clusters of green grapes, adding a complementary element to the warm tones of the peaches. The subtle interplay of shadows and light enhances the three-dimensionality of the fruit, while the rich, dark background brings focus to the vibrancy and texture of the peaches and grapes, characteristic of Fantin-Latour’s dedication to Realism.
