About this work

This painting shows a simple table with everyday objects. There’s a half-empty wineglass, a small covered dish, two lemons, and a peeled lemon wedge on a dark cloth. A crusty loaf of bread sits next to a metal tray, and the background looks like a rough stone wall. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the objects a textured, almost tactile look. This style is called *impasto*—it makes the paint feel like it’s raised from the canvas. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for dramatic effect.
