If you didn't already know, a gradient refers to a gradual blend or transition between two or more colors. Gradients are often employed to add depth, dimension, and a sense of movement to images.

That vantage point and the way it was painted (the perspective, lights and shadows) trick the observer into thinking the vase, the flowers and the marble niche are real.
This painting by Severin Roesen, a German-American painter known for his lush still lifes, captures a bountiful arrangement of fruits. The composition centers around ripe, plump peaches in varying shades of orange and yellow, with deep red undertones that highlight their velvety texture. They are accompanied by clusters of black and pale green grapes, which add contrast and depth with their smooth, reflective surfaces. The delicate stems and leaves extend from the fruits, adding a touch of natural elegance. The table is draped in a white cloth with a subtle golden fringe, adding an element of luxury and softness to the scene. The way the fabric folds and catches light adds a sense of realism and depth, showcasing Roesen’s attention to texture and form. The background is a warm, neutral tone, which enhances the vibrancy of the fruits without distracting from them.
