"Still Life with Broken Watermelon" is a notable work by the American painter James Peale (1749–1831), who was part of a family of artists that included his brother, Charles Willson Peale. James Peale is known for his miniature portraits and still life paintings, which often depicted fruits, flowers, and other objects with meticulous attention to detail and a keen observation of light and shadow.

This particular painting, "Still Life with Broken Watermelon," exemplifies Peale's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with realism. The composition features a broken watermelon with its vibrant red flesh and contrasting black seeds, accompanied by other fruits that may include grapes, peaches, or plums, which were common in his still lifes. The work is celebrated for its vivid color palette and the way it captures the transient beauty of the fruits, as well as the fleeting nature of life itself—a theme commonly explored in still life paintings of the period.

The painting is also significant for its place within the context of American art history, as it represents the early development of still life painting in the United States. James Peale's contributions to this genre helped establish a tradition that would be carried on by subsequent generations of American artists.

"Still Life with Broken Watermelon" is not only a testament to James Peale's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work is held in high regard by art historians and collectors alike and is considered an important piece within Peale's oeuvre. It is often studied for its technique and as an example of early American still life painting, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of this genre in American art.
