“Corfu The Terrace,” created in 1909 by John Singer Sargent, is a watercolor painting aligning with the Impressionism art movement. The artwork is a landscape piece, measuring 52.86 x 40.32 cm.
The artwork captures a serene terrace scene, characterized by the presence of two stone urns on a parapet, surrounded by lush greenery and tall trees. The background reveals a distant view of calm waters and a soft, hazy sky. The artist employs delicate brushstrokes and a harmonious color palette to evoke a tranquil atmosphere, characteristic of Sargent’s mastery in watercolor and the Impressionist style. The interplay of light and shadow in the foliage and the textured surfaces of the urns add depth and charm to this idyllic landscape.
