In this still life there is a clear awareness of volume, inherited from his sculptural practice: the fruits appear modeled with a delicate tonal gradation that emphasizes their corporeality and physical presence. The composition, balanced and serene, responds to a classic tradition of domestic still life, treated with technical refinement and attention to decorative detail.
Sculptor and painter, Vicente Navarro trained at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia, where he was a disciple of López Mezquita. He was a regular participant in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded the first medal in 1915. After traveling to Rome on a scholarship, in 1918 he obtained a teaching post at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona. He was an academician of San Carlos, San Jorge and San Fernando, obtained the National Prize of Painting and Sculpture in 1947 and a medal of honor in the Regional Exhibition of Valencia in 1935. He is represented in several museums, such as the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid and the Army Museum.
