"Apples, Pears and Grapes" is a still life painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1871. This work is an example of Courbet's contribution to the still life genre, which he approached with the same realism that characterized his larger-scale paintings. The painting depicts a simple arrangement of fruit, which includes the apples, pears, and grapes mentioned in the title, rendered with meticulous attention to texture, color, and form.

Courbet was a leading figure in the Realist movement, a mid-19th-century artistic movement that sought to portray subjects truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic, and supernatural elements. His works often depicted ordinary people and landscapes, and he occasionally turned to still life to explore the tactile and visual qualities of everyday objects.

"Apples, Pears and Grapes" reflects Courbet's interest in the natural world and his skill in capturing the varied surfaces and organic shapes of the fruits. The composition is notable for its directness and lack of pretense, focusing on the honest depiction of the fruits rather than an idealized or symbolic representation. The painting's brushwork is loose and expressive, a hallmark of Courbet's style, which adds a sense of immediacy and vitality to the still life.

The painting is part of Courbet's later body of work, created after the tumultuous events of the Paris Commune in 1871, during which Courbet was an active participant. Following the suppression of the Commune, Courbet was imprisoned for six months, and during this period, he produced a number of still lifes. "Apples, Pears and Grapes" is thus not only an example of his artistic prowess but also a reflection of a personal and political moment in the artist's life.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location or ownership of "Apples, Pears and Grapes" is not specified, and further details about its provenance and critical reception over time would require additional research. The painting contributes to the understanding of Courbet's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French painting, offering insight into the Realist approach to a traditional subject matter within the still life genre.
