Olive Trees in the Moreno Garden (Bois d’oliviers au jardin Moreno), 1884 by Claude Monet

Olive Trees in the Moreno Garden (Bois d’oliviers au jardin Moreno), painted by Claude Monet in 1884 depicts a sun-dappled grove above Bordighera, Italy, where gnarled, silvery-green olive trunks twist across a hillside carpeted in patches of red, orange, and gold undergrowth. Loose, vigorous brushstrokes trace the play of Mediterranean light through the canopy, breaking the scene into shimmering fragments of color. Painted during Monet's 1884 travels along the Italian Riviera, the work shows him pushing his palette toward the brighter, more saturated colors that would mark his mature style.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1884.
