Anne Vallayer-Coster, 1769 - Basket of Plums - fine art print

Supplemental description from the museum (© - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

During the later part of the 1700s, fruit still lifes were extremely popular, and a basket of plums was a common motif. In Vallayer's painting the details, especially the plums and the basket, emerge from deep shadows. The colors are vivid reds and violets and a sense of immediacy is invoked by the growing moss, the cakes in their crisp papers, and the glass of water with its sparkling highlights and reflections.
