Designed by MFA designer Evan Baumeister, this print draws inspiration from Jaylen Brown’s soaring moves and the Museum’s Art of the Americas galleries.
This unusually intimate composition betrays Fantin’s debt to Chardin, the 18th-century master of still life who returned to art-historical fashion in the early 1860s. Carefully restricted to three peaches, a plate, and a fruit knife, the composition has a rapt quality, conveying to the viewer a sense of the painter’s own hushed absorption in his subject.
