MONET, Claude: Still-Life with Melon

🖼 Still-Life with Melon, 1872
Oil on canvas
53 × 73 cm
Lisbon, Portugal

Soft light bathes a halved melon and surrounding fruit, rendered with loose brushwork that captures fleeting effects rather than precise detail. Monet's shift to intimate still-life subjects reveals his fascination with light and color independent of grand landscape themes.
