Rudolph Colao was an American artist, with a focus on painting wonderful still life paintings. Known for painting from life with actual floral bouquets and landscapes as his primary inspiration. Notably in 1960, at 33 years of age, Colao was the recipient of the Grand Prize winning award for the Washington Square Art Exhibit, in New York. His art wonderfully incorporates techniques to incorporate the illusion of texture, depth and an uncanny use of light and shadow evidenced in the current still life painting.
The current work depicts a still life with grapes, silver pitcher and ewer with fruit.
