The heavy earthenware bowl lined with pale blue slip seems almost too small for the weight of the fruit piled into it. Among them is a single pomegranate, squeezed in at the base of the heap.\n\nIn 1871 Courbet was jailed for his involvement in the Paris Commune, the radical government that ruled Paris for a few months that year. Allowed to paint but forbidden to have models pose for him, his sister Zoé brought him flowers and fruit, and he was able to explore still-life painting, a genre almost new to him.\n\nCourbet knew the still-life paintings of seventeenth-century Dutch artists in which rotting fruit and dying flowers were symbols of the fleeting nature of life. But Courbet’s apples are things of beauty, rather than a warning of death. They are his affirmation of life – each one singular, sweet-smelling and tactile.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/gustave-courbet-still-life-with-apples-and-a-pomegranate\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Still Life with Apples and a Pomegranate\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gustave Courbet","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509642858739,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (17 1\/2\" x 24\")","offer_id":50509642891507,"sku":null,"price":777.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/4\" x 20 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509642924275,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 3\/4\" x 25 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509642957043,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 7\/8\" x 31 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509642989811,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (29 5\/8\" x 40 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509643022579,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (35 1\/2\" x 48 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509643055347,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (41 7\/8\" x 57 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509643088115,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (50 1\/4\" x 69\")","offer_id":50509643120883,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/StillLifewithApplesandaPomegranate.jpg?v=1789253669","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/still-life-with-apples-and-a-pomegranate-ngal746","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
