Still Life Oil Painting – Three Apples

This vintage still life oil painting captures a moment of luminous simplicity—three radiant apples resting against a deep, black background. The artist’s mastery of light and shadow transforms an everyday subject into a striking study of form and reflection.

Each apple glows with rich crimson and amber tones, accented by delicate droplets of water that seem almost real enough to touch. The smooth gradation of light reveals an artist deeply attuned to realism and contrast, turning restraint into beauty.

Set within an ornate gold frame, this piece evokes the timeless still-life tradition of Dutch and Italian masters—refined, sensual, and contemplative. Whether displayed in a dining room, library, or collector’s wall, it invites a sense of quiet elegance.

Piece that glows even in low light—warm, classic, and grounded.
Cinematic lighting in a frame.
A study in texture and tone worthy of the old masters.
