"Apples, peaches, oranges, melons, pomegranates, plums, cherries, figs, grapes, pears, a watermelon and other fruit on a hillside with monkeys" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan van Kessel the Elder. Known for his detailed still lifes and landscapes, van Kessel was a member of the prominent Brueghel family, which included several generations of influential artists. This painting exemplifies van Kessel's skill in rendering fruit with meticulous attention to texture, color, and light, creating a lush and inviting composition.

The artwork features an abundant display of various fruits arranged on a hillside, showcasing the natural diversity and richness of produce available during the period. The inclusion of playful monkeys adds a dynamic and whimsical element to the scene, as they are depicted interacting with the fruit, thus providing a narrative quality to the still life. This juxtaposition of still life and animal genre reflects the Baroque era's fascination with nature, exoticism, and the boundaries between the wild and the cultivated.

Van Kessel's work is characterized by its fine brushwork and the artist's ability to capture the translucency of ripe fruit and the textures of their skins and leaves. The painting not only serves as a visual feast but also as a symbol of the era's interest in scientific exploration and the cataloging of knowledge, as artists like van Kessel often worked closely with naturalists to depict the natural world with accuracy.

"Apples, peaches, oranges, melons, pomegranates, plums, cherries, figs, grapes, pears, a watermelon and other fruit on a hillside with monkeys" is a testament to Jan van Kessel's mastery of the still life genre and his contribution to the Golden Age of Flemish painting. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the period's horticultural and zoological interests.
