The apple of my eye

Here are some famous paitings of fruit. Which painting is it?

Done in 1893, the painting features a large basket of apples spilling out onto a table that’s also adorned with a wrinkled tablecloth, as well as a bottle of wine and some cookies.

Some of the leaves have been eaten through by a small worm and much of the fruit, as well as the grapes appear to have gone well past their ripened stage and have begun to rot.

Done in 1866, Jar of Peaches is a famous work that depicts a towering jar of preserved peaches that cast a unique reflection across a marble slab.

The painting features some bananas and other fruits including guava and oranges placed on a table with three children seated in the background.

Van Gogh’s work titled Still Life With Apples Pears Lemons And Grapes is arguably one of the most famous fruit paintings ever created as it features an array of fruit uniquely situated on a tablecloth.

One of the most famous still-life paintings created by a Spanish painter is Francisco de Zurbaran’s Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose.
