Artist

William Bradley

William Bradley is an Art Nouveau artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

William Bradley painted still lifes in the 1820s, a tradition where artists arranged everyday objects like fruit to play with color and light. In Early Fruit you’ll find a bowl of peaches and grapes, soft daylight catching their skins. The quiet realism of the scene sits between the grand history paintings of the past and the looser brushwork soon to come.

Tap Early Fruit to step into a sunlit corner of the 1820s and trace the edges of each glossy curve.
