Lemons | 42 cm x 54.5 cm | Original on Paper | The Mediterranean Table

"Bright, bold, and unapologetically alive. The lemon is the Mediterranean in a single fruit."

Sun-drenched lemons shine against a turquoise background reminiscent of the Mediterranean sky in this original acrylic on paper from The Mediterranean Table — Luna Burlo's Works on Paper series.

The lemon is perhaps the most iconic fruit of the Mediterranean table, grown on terraced hillsides from Malta to the Amalfi Coast, squeezed over everything from fish to dessert, and placed in the centre of the meal without apology. It is bright, generous, and essential. In Mediterranean culture the lemon tree in the courtyard is more than decoration, it is a daily reminder that beauty and nourishment can exist in the same thing.

One of just twelve originals in this collection, painted on 210gsm paper and hand-trimmed to approximately 42 x 54.5cm. A slight variation of up to 0.5cm may occur — a natural characteristic of a hand-finished work.

Bright and instantly uplifting. A painting that makes any room feel like it has a view of the sea.

Framing We recommend professional framing, or a standard 50 x 70cm frame with a 40 x 50cm mat board as a cost-effective alternative, though a few centimeters will be lost in height. Most works in this series have been composed with this framing option in mind.

This painting is part of a coordinating set of four, alongside "Blood Oranges", "Figs", and "Pomegranates". Each shares the same rich turquoise background and Mediterranean warmth. Collect one or collect them all.
