Which fruits are most often depicted in the visual arts?

I'm guessing it's the apple, with all it's religious symbolism and etc.

Though, I'm thinking Pumpkins must be up there - but are they vegetables?

Anyway, this is a weirdly banal question that entered my head today...

Fruit art most welcome!

Pumpkins are squash and therefore fruits.

I wz searching for bananas in art and I found this:

So you may be right. (But then again bananas weren't popular for much of Western art history)

Pears are disproportionately over-represented, I think.

But grapes are surely the winner here.

The only fruit I like in my paintings is a couple of ripe melons. OH!
