The artwork, titled “Study of Trees,” was created in 1859 by Edouard Manet in Paris, France. This piece, executed on canvas using oil, is a product of the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of sketches and studies. The artwork is currently held in a private collection.
“Study of Trees” presents a detailed examination of a grove of trees. The brushwork is loose yet evocative, capturing the intricate textures and varied hues of the tree bark and leaves. The artist employs a rich palette of earthy tones, which blend seamlessly with the subtle hints of green and blue, illustrating the interplay of light and shadow across the landscape. The background is rendered in softer, muted colors, allowing the central composition of the trees to stand out prominently. The scene conveys a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere, typical of studies meant to explore the natural forms and their interaction with light.
