"Apple Tree with Red Fruit," painted by Paul-Élie Ranson in 1902, is a representative work of the Nabis movement, to which the artist belonged, known for its symbolic and decorative approach. The composition is characterized by the use of stylized forms and flat colors, where the apple tree with its fruits becomes a symbol of fertility and life. Ranson plays with the abstraction of nature, simplifying forms to create a visually harmonious and decorative pattern. The warm tones of the fruits contrast with the foliage, bringing dynamism to the work and evoking the cycle of life.
The influence of Japanese art known as Ukiyo-e, particularly the use of curved lines and defined contours, is evident in the way the artist handles natural elements. This painting reflects the transition of art towards a more subjective representation, merging naturalistic observation with symbolic interpretation.
