Punaiset omenat is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a big bunch of red apples. The apples are bright and blocky, sitting against a pale, rough background. The colors are mostly red, green, and gray, with some white and blue mixed in. The brushstrokes look thick and uneven, like the paint was slapped on. The apples almost feel real, but the background is fuzzy and blurry. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint like this works.
Helena Sofia (Helene) Schjerfbeck (pronounced ; July 10, 1862 – January 23, 1946) was a Finnish modernist painter known for her realist works and self-portraits, and also for her landscapes and still lifes.
