Description
Still life with red and green ripe tomatoes and a tomato plant by American Impressionist and member of the Cos Cob Art Colony, Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919), painted c.1888. Weir was also one of the founding members of 'The Ten', a group of American artists dissatisfied with professional art organizations, who exhibited together in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other American cities, between 1898 and 1918. As for the title, tomatoes are technically a fruit, although usually classed as a salad vegetable. There's also a wider suggestion of 'fruit of the earth', particularly with the prominence of the ripe red tomatoes at bottom centre and the predominance of a lush green hues. A beautiful piece of work, either way.
