Quinces

Quinces by Ludwig Adam Kunz

Hanging heavily from a gnarled branch, three large quinces glow with a yellowish-green hue against a dark, moody background. Ludwig Adam Kunz uses thick, visible brushstrokes to give the leaves a lush, almost sculptural quality, making the fruit look incredibly ripe and heavy. Before apples took over the world, quinces were the star of European orchards, prized for their intense fragrance and usually cooked into sweet jams because they are rock-hard when raw.
