What is the painting on The Simpsons wall based on?

The one where the apple is faling off the side of the table-I know it went for a few million quid a few years ago-I believe it was the first surrealist painting-whereby before painting were of a ';solid'; object -this painter appeared to show movement in his work.

There is in fact an allusion to a Cezanne still life with apples; but that hangs in Monty Burns's mansion and is shown in ';The Mansion Family';, the twelfth episode of The Simpsons' eleventh season. Here's a picture of ot on a French website that list a larg number of famous painting spoofs on ';The Simpsons';:

I have never seen the Simpsons and can't find a picture of their rooms but there is a painting by Sylvia Angeli that has an apple just going over the edge of the table
Don't they have a boat in the painting I don't seam to recall the apple one.
