The artwork titled “Jerusalem” by John Singer Sargent was created between 1905 and 1906. This piece, which features gouache and watercolor applied to paper, epitomizes the Impressionist movement. It portrays a landscape and measures 25.4 by 35.56 centimeters.
In “Jerusalem,” Sargent captures a serene and atmospheric scene of a landscaped area, characterized by tall trees and scattered stone structures. The use of watercolor and gouache lends the piece a fluid and dynamic quality, with brushstrokes that suggest dappled light filtering through the foliage. The earthy tones and soft, diffused light create an intimate and contemplative ambiance. This artwork exemplifies Sargent’s skill in capturing the nuanced interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of Impressionist landscape painting.
