Title:
Still Life: Balsam Apple and Vegetables
Caption:
Still Life: Balsam Apple and Vegetables. Artist: James Peale (American, Chestertown, Maryland 1749-1831 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 20 1/4 x 26 1/2 in. (51.4 x 67.3 cm). Date: ca. 1820s.
This painting dates from a peak period of James Peale's career. While he typically used somber colors and linear forms, his use of vivid colors and painterly execution in this work suggest that it is a somewhat experimental exercise. With its focus on lavish vegetable forms, this work resembles still lifes of the Spanish school. The vegetables are, from left to right, okra, blue-green cabbage, crinkly Savoy cabbage, Hubbard squash, eggplant, balsam apple, tomatoes, and purple-red cabbage.
