About Above Lake Garda at San Vigilio

“Above Lake Garda at San Vigilio,” painted by John Singer Sargent in 1913, is a watercolor belonging to the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 33.66 x 52.07 cm, this marina genre artwork vividly captures a serene and picturesque scene.

The artwork features a tranquil lakeside view with a stone pier extending into the water, bordered by calm, translucent waves.

The use of soft, muted colors and fluid brushstrokes characterizes the Impressionist style and evokes a sense of lightness and tranquility. The horizon is faintly visible, blending seamlessly with the sky, enhancing the painting’s ethereal quality. The delicate interplay of light and shadow on the water and rocks showcases Sargent’s mastery in capturing natural beauty.
