Ilex Wood. Majorca 1908

"Ilex Wood. Majorca" is an oil painting created in 1908 by American artist John Singer Sargent, known for his portraits and landscapes. The painting depicts a close-up view of a vibrant green ilex bush in Majorca, Spain. Sargent's signature loose brushstrokes and impasto technique create a textured and luminous surface, capturing the light and shadow play on the foliage. The contrasting tones of the green leaves against the earthy background enhance the feeling of depth and the natural beauty of the scene.
