"Still Life with Melons, Peaches and Grapes" is a 19th-century oil painting by American artist John F. Francis, whose work is known for its meticulous attention to detail and rich depiction of food items. While the exact date of creation is unknown, the painting is characteristic of Francis's mature period, when he focused on still life compositions that often featured an array of fruits, confections, and nuts, rendered with a high degree of realism.

The painting presents a sumptuous display of ripe melons, peaches, and grapes arranged on a table, showcasing Francis's skill in capturing the varied textures and subtle color variations of the fruits' surfaces. The composition is carefully balanced, with the melons and peaches occupying the foreground, inviting the viewer to reach out and touch their velvety skins, while the bunches of grapes add depth to the scene, their translucent skins interacting with the light to create a sense of volume and roundness.

John F. Francis (1808–1886) was an American still life painter associated with the Philadelphia school of artists. He was particularly admired for his ability to imbue ordinary subjects with a sense of dignity and aesthetic value. "Still Life with Melons, Peaches and Grapes" exemplifies the genre of tabletop still life that was popular in the United States during the mid-19th century, reflecting both the influence of European still life traditions and the growing American interest in domestic themes and the celebration of abundance.

The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of still life as a genre and to Francis's particular talent for elevating the everyday into the realm of fine art. Although the exact whereabouts of "Still Life with Melons, Peaches and Grapes" are not widely publicized, works by John F. Francis are held in several prominent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
