Fruit Piece, 1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Hannah Brown Skeele captures a delightful still life scene from 19th century America. In this oil painting, the artist skillfully portrays a bowl of luscious fruits arranged on a table. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring each fruit to life. Amidst this bountiful display, an unexpected visitor has made its presence known – a fly has settled on the sugar bowl. This small insect adds an element of realism and imperfection to the otherwise idyllic composition. Skeele's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. Imported pineapples, oranges, lemons, apples, bananas, and strawberries are meticulously painted with precision and accuracy. The use of light and shadow enhances their natural beauty while emphasizing their texture. The functional kitchenware surrounding the fruit bowl further emphasizes the domestic setting of this piece. Cutlery and sugar cubes add depth to the composition while reflecting everyday objects found in American households during that era. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Americas gallery, "Fruit Piece" showcases Skeele's talent for capturing nature's bounty through her brushstrokes. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both art and food throughout history. This heritage artwork transports viewers back in time to appreciate not only Skeele's artistic prowess but also provides insight into 19th-century American culture where imported fruits were considered luxurious treats amidst daily life in the United States.
