Date: 1813

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Forth Worth, Texas, United States

Description

Peaches and Grapes in a Chinese Export Basket is one of Raphaelle’s earliest signed and dated paintings, and it may relate to the Peale family’s experimental farm outside of Philadelphia. The farm featured heated greenhouses, which provided Raphaelle with the luxury of painting fruits and flowers even when they were out of season. These peaches sit in an ornate blue and white porcelain basket, a costly item imported from China that signaled cultural refinement and the prosperity brought about by international trade.

—The Peale’s: An illustrious lineage.

Charles Willson Peale (April 15, 1741 – February 22, 1827) was an American painter, scientist, naturalist and inventor, famous for painting figures from the American Revolution like John Laurens and baron Frederick von Steuben and making the most famous portrayals of president George Washington. His children (many of whom received names of Peale’s favourite artists) and grandchildren would go down in history as influential artists, ornithologist and polymaths. They were:

Raphaelle (also known was Raphael) Peale (1774–1825), widely considered he first professional still-life painter born in America.

Remembrandt Peale (1778–1860), author of more that 600 paintings and museum keeper, whose most notable painting was “Rubens Peale with a Geranium”.

Rubens Peale (1784–1865), museum administrator, who due to his weak eyesight would not practice painting seriously until the last decade of his life, when he became an still-life artist.

Sophonisba Angusciola Sellers, née Peale (1786–1859), ornithologist and mother of engineer Coleman Sellers II.

Titian Ramsay Peale I (1780–1798), ornithologist.

Franklin Peale (1795–1870), Chief Coiner at the Philadelphia Mint.

Titian Ramsay Peale II (1799–1885), ornithologist, scientific illustrator, photographer and explorer.

His granddaughters would also be known as:

Mary Jane Peale (1826–1902), Rubens’ third child and only daughter, a painter.

Rosalba and Eleanor Peale, Remembrandt’s daughters, of whom Rosalba would be known as a painter.
