Framed Olive Green Art
Olives have been cultivated by people since ancient times and the highly versatile tree and its fruits served an abundance of purposes. The unmistakable color of olives stands out from all shades of green and there are even framed Olive green prints offered by famous painters, for those who cherish this unique color.
FramedArt.com has all the classic masterpieces up for sale, including Paul Cezanne’s The Brook or Edouard Manet’s A corner of the Garden in Rueil.
Regardless of theme and object depicted, framed olive green prints tend to blend in with the existing decor, but they catch the eye nevertheless. The color has a powerful symbolism, ranging from positive notions to concepts such as Andy or jealousy. Religious books present it as the color of the snake that led to Adam and Eve’s downfall from Eden, while the troubadours of medieval times regarded it as the color of love. Not surprisingly, many paintings crafted during this period feature young women dressed in olive green dresses and shorts.
Art transcends any barriers and while the vast majority of framed green olive paintings are celebrating nature in spring, there are some who take a detour into the supernatural. In legends, monsters, dragons and fairies were frequently painted in green, with Chinese dragons being also associated to this color. There are posters dedicated to all these mythological creatures, some benevolent and others looking like they simply wait for an opportunity to cause mischief.
