Olives in Corfu is a 1909 oil by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a serene landscape with olive trees, their trunks twisted and gnarled. In the foreground, a few goats rest in the shade, their white coats a striking contrast to the lush greenery. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, adding texture and energy to the painting.
