Jar of Peaches

Slightly before his Impressionist period, in 1866 Claude Monet created this enticing Jar of Peaches painting. Sumptuous fruit jarred in glass is the center focus for this endearing painting. Well defined lines, darker brown background hues, and reflective light emphasize the rich red and orange color of the luscious fruit. Although Monet is famous for his beautiful landscapes, this still life is a brilliant example of his broad talent.
