The artwork entitled “Pineapples” is a still life painting created in 1890 by Francisco Oller, an artist associated with the Realism movement. The painting vividly depicts several pineapples arranged on a surface draped with a white cloth, alongside a plate and a knife.
In this realistic representation, the pineapples are positioned in various orientations, showcasing their textured surfaces and vibrant green leaves. The detailed rendering of the pineapples’ rough exteriors and sturdy, pointed leaves is a testament to the artist’s meticulous attention to detail and his keen observation skills. The white cloth adds a contrasting softness to the composition, while the plate and knife introduce a sense of balance and everyday familiarity. The background, with its subdued tones, ensures that the focus remains on the pineapples, highlighting their natural beauty and the artist’s technical prowess.
