ClémentineS de Corse, oil on canvas, 18 x 24 cm
I painted this little picture at the beginning of the year when you could get fresh, ripe clementines at the market.
Corsican clementines can be recognized by their dark green leaves and thin skin. They are quite small and have a delicate flavor.
“In 1892, botanist Louis Charles Trabut observed the first hybrid plants in his brother Clément’s nursery near Oran in Algeria. He named the fruit in his honor and devoted an article to its discovery in the Revue horticole française in 1902. The career of the clementine took its course. The first traces of clementine trees in Corsica date back to 1925, planted by Don Philippe Semidei in Figareto on the east coast.” https://www.france.fr/de/korsika/liste/alles-wissenswerte-klementinen-aus-korsika
