Melon and Tomatos — Fine Art

Melon and Tomatos by Pierre-Auguste Renoir places two round fruits on a table beside several red tomatoes. The shapes sit close together against a plain ground. Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted still lifes like this one in the same loose style he used for his outdoor scenes.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The surface is matte, so the reds and greens stay calm and do not shine under a lamp.

It fits a kitchen wall above the counter where you set the fruit bowl. From the doorway you notice the biggest forms first, and when you stand closer the separate paint strokes become clear.
