Olive Trees of the Riviera is a 1875 by Samuel Colman, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows olive trees and an old stone aqueduct in sunny southern France. Two people look out at a bright sailboat on the water. The light hits the leaves and stones in small patches. It’s interesting because Colman painted this while traveling in Europe long ago. He liked to show quiet outdoor scenes like this one. If you like this, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
