"Portrait with Apples - Wife of the Artist" is a notable work by the German Expressionist painter August Macke, created in 1909. This painting is a vibrant and intimate portrayal of the artist's wife, Elisabeth Gerhardt, whom he married in 1909, the same year the portrait was painted. The work is emblematic of Macke's style during this period, which was characterized by bright, bold colors and a move towards abstraction, influenced by the developments in French avant-garde art and Fauvism.

In "Portrait with Apples," Macke's use of color is particularly striking, with the composition dominated by vivid hues that create a sense of harmony and emotional depth. The subject, Elisabeth, is depicted with a gentle, contemplative expression, surrounded by apples that add a symbolic and decorative element to the piece. The apples may suggest fertility and abundance, or they could be interpreted as a nod to the still life tradition, which Macke was known to incorporate into his portraits.

The painting is a significant example of Macke's early work and his exploration of color theory, which would later become a hallmark of his contribution to Expressionism and the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) movement. "Portrait with Apples - Wife of the Artist" not only provides insight into Macke's personal life but also reflects the broader artistic trends of the early 20th century, as artists sought to express emotion and meaning through bold color and form.

August Macke's untimely death in World War I cut short a promising career, making his existing works, such as "Portrait with Apples - Wife of the Artist," all the more precious for their innovation and their glimpse into the life and affections of the artist. This painting remains an important piece within Macke's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the development of modern art.
