August Laux (1847–1921) painted fruit and flowers the way a man who genuinely loved both would — lush, abundant, and glowing with the warm, rich colour of things at their absolute peak. The German-born American still life painter developed a style of confident, sensuous naturalism that made him one of the most admired and collected still life painters in 19th-century America, his compositions of grapes, peaches, berries, and blossoms arranged with an effortless generosity and painted in a palette of extraordinary warmth and richness. In counted cross stitch, Laux's abundant still life compositions and glowing colour translate into designs that are deeply satisfying to stitch and beautiful to display.
