"Lemon and Grapes" is a still-life painting by Raphaelle Peale, an American painter known for his work in the still-life genre during the early 19th century. As the son of the famous American artist Charles Willson Peale, Raphaelle was part of a family deeply embedded in the arts and the promotion of American culture. Born in 1774, Raphaelle Peale is often considered the first professional American still-life painter, and his works are characterized by their meticulous detail, subdued color palettes, and the influence of Neoclassicism.

Completed in 1817, "Lemon and Grapes" exemplifies Peale's skill in rendering objects with a lifelike presence and texture. The painting depicts a simple arrangement of fruit, with a cut lemon and its peel prominently displayed alongside a cluster of grapes. The composition is notable for its realism and the interplay of light and shadow, which gives the objects a tangible quality. Peale's technique involved careful observation and the ability to capture the subtleties of natural forms, which is evident in the delicate translucency of the grapes and the textured surface of the lemon peel.

The painting is often interpreted as a reflection of the values of the time, particularly the emphasis on virtue, simplicity, and the natural world. It also showcases the American inclination towards a more modest and realistic representation of subjects, as opposed to the grand historical and mythological scenes favored in European art. "Lemon and Grapes" is not only a testament to Raphaelle Peale's artistic prowess but also an important piece within the context of American art history, marking a period when American artists were beginning to establish a distinct identity separate from European influences.

"Lemon and Grapes" is held in a number of esteemed art collections and has been displayed in various museums, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of still-life painting in America. As with many of Peale's works, this painting continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader narrative of American art.
