From the collection of Brooklyn Museum
Hills of Galilee is a 1905 watercolor by John Singer Sargent, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This watercolor painting depicts a serene landscape with rolling hills in the background. In the foreground, a person is shown walking with a cow, both facing left. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills that gradually fade into the distance, with the sky above featuring a mix of blue and white hues. The painting's use of watercolor creates a soft, dreamy quality, with gentle brushstrokes that evoke a sense of tranquility. The artist's choice of colors, including shades of brown, green, and blue, adds depth and texture to the scene. For more works by John Singer Sargent, explore the Brooklyn Museum.
