“Landscape near Florence” is an artwork created by John Singer Sargent in 1907 using watercolor on paper. This piece, associated with the Impressionism movement, measures 37.46 x 53.97 cm and falls under the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork depicts a scenic landscape near Florence, Italy. The painting captures the essence of a serene environment with its lush greenery and tall trees, which are elegantly rendered in watercolor. Sargent’s masterful use of color and light conveys a sense of early morning or late afternoon, with soft, pastel tones that evoke a tranquil and peaceful mood. The brushstrokes are fluid, contributing to the impressionistic style by emphasizing the overall atmosphere rather than precise details. The natural composition and the play of light and shadow across the foliage reflect a harmonious and picturesque scene characteristic of the landscapes around Florence.
