EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrew John Henry Way's 'Bunch of Grapes' (1873) is a stunning oil on canvas painting that showcases the rich, luscious beauty of the Prince Albert grape variety. This exquisite still life masterpiece captures the essence of the vine-ripened fruit, with each grape bursting with color and texture. The grapes were grown in greenhouses at the Govans estate of William T. Walters, a wealthy Baltimorean who owned many summer homes in the area. The dark background adds depth and contrast to the vibrant grapes, while the vine leaves and shadows add a sense of natural texture and dimension. The Prince Albert grape was a popular variety during the 19th century in America, particularly among the wealthy elite who could afford to grow them in greenhouses. The grapes were highly prized for their rich, full flavor and dark, glossy appearance. Way's painting captures the essence of this heritage fruit in all its glory, inviting the viewer to imagine the sweet, juicy taste of each ripe grape. The attention to detail in Way's painting is truly remarkable, from the individual grapes to the intricacies of the vine leaves. The use of oil painting techniques allows for a rich, textured surface that brings the painting to life. The close-up perspective invites the viewer to examine the grapes up close, while the overall composition invites contemplation and appreciation of the natural beauty of the vine and its fruit. 'Bunch of Grapes' is a testament to the artistic heritage of America during the 19th century, and a reminder of the simple pleasures of nature. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, still life painting, or the beauty of the natural world.
