What a beautiful painting! This could have been my grandmother as she would spend hours peeling quince to make jam. What else has this artist done? I love his style.

I too remember my grandmother peeling and peeling quinces to make spoon sweets, peltes and jams.;-)
Nikolaos Lytras introduced Expressionism in Greece. Unfortunately, he died young (at the age of 44. 1883-1927)

Is it really the end of quince season, so soon? I haven’t made anything with quince this year. I love Lytras’ paintings.

The quince season starts in early autumn and ends in late November. However you can still find quinces stored in refrigerator or imported from Turkey.
