Apples and Grapes is a 1880 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
You see a still life of apples and grapes on a table. This painting is interesting because Monet used short brushstrokes to show the folds in the tablecloth. He also played with color and light, like he did in his landscapes. Check out the technique of impasto to learn more about how artists like Monet used texture in their work.
