Under the Cherry Tree
Under the Cherry Tree (1884). Lavery, Sir John 1856-1941. Born in Belfast, Lavery began his artistic training in Glasgow. During the early 1880s he studied in Paris and made visits to the artists? colony at Grez-sur-Loing, near Fontainebleau. At Grez Lavery was one of many young artists to set up their easels in the fields around the picturesque village and work en plein-air, a term used to describe painting in the open air. Under the Cherry Tree is larger and more ambitious than any Lavery had previously attempted. It is a youthful masterwork, heavily influenced by Bastien-Lepage and was intended to display the painterly techniques he had recently acquired through study in France. The composition of Under the Cherry Tree is divided into three distinct areas and Lavery employed a different technique in the painting of each. Date: 1884

Under the Cherry Tree,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by Sir John Lavery in 1884, is a stunning and evocative work that showcases the artist's youthful mastery and the influence of his training in France. Born in Belfast, Lavery began his artistic training in Glasgow before moving to Paris in the early 1880s to study under some of the greatest artists of the time. During his time in Paris, he became a part of the artists' colony at Grez-sur-Loing, near Fontainebleau, where he and his peers set up their easels in the open fields and painted en plein-air, or in the open air. This larger-than-life painting is a testament to Lavery's newfound skills, heavily influenced by the works of Bastien-Lepage. The composition of "Under the Cherry Tree" is divided into three distinct areas, each painted with a different technique. In the foreground, the rich, textured brushstrokes capture the intricacies of the cherry tree's branches and the delicate petals of its blossoms. The middle ground features the young girl, dressed in a simple white dress, sitting under the tree, her face turned up to the sun. The background is painted with broad, sweeping strokes, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. "Under the Cherry Tree" is a youthful masterwork, full of vibrant colors and a sense of joy and wonder. It is a testament to Lavery's artistic growth and his ability to capture the beauty of nature and the passing of time. This painting remains an enduring symbol of the artistic community at Grez-sur-Loing and a testament to the power of artistic exploration and growth.
