unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Viinirypäleitä ja omenia is an unspecified by Magnus von Wright, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A blue bowl sits on a light tabletop, spilling over with grapes and apples. The grapes are green, purple, and red, some still on the vine. A bright red apple leans against the pile, while a peach and a few plums add warm colors. In the background, a small potted plant and a leafy branch peek out of the dark. The artist paid close attention to how light hits each fruit, making them look almost real. The dark background makes the colors pop even more. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
Magnus von Wright (13 June 1805 – 5 July 1868) was a Finnish painter and educator. In addition to bird illustrations, he was also known for his landscapes. He was one of the four sibling von Wright artists.
