Two apples
Even the godfather of Impressionism needed to practice his chops! Édouard Manet created these charming apple studies to master the subtle play of light and color on simple objects. Notice how the delicate washes of green, yellow, and deep red capture the exact moment an apple is perfectly ripe. Unlike his massive, controversial salon paintings that caused scandals in Paris, these intimate sketches reveal a quieter, more observational side of the artist. The casual 'E. M' signature in the corner is a classic touch from a master who changed art history forever.
