Sargent could also be noted as a war artist. Here he tended to depict the young men either resting or enjoying themselves - celebrating their last moments in Arcadia before their devouring by the butchering maws of the Front. They are a unique vision of war.

A fascinating body of work within his oeuvre are his studies of sleepers. Here we have people at their most vulnerable, clearly trusting the painter & comfortably asleep. One wonders what was Sargent’s fascination due to? I think it’s about vulnerability & revelation

Three more exquisite Venetian watercolours. There are a number of monographs on this series. They clearly show this was an artist of superlative ability.

Here are two more of his English canvases including one of a friend painting. Here too is one of his lovers believed to be Nicola d’Inverno (coyly described as his valet). These images were mostly for the artists own pleasure. His society portraits paid his way.

It’s often forgotten that Sargent was a master of Impressionism - & indeed for many years art historians thought of him as a society portrait painter only. These three paintings (the first is of Monet painting) demonstrate his place amongst this group devoted to colour & light

Like Gainsborough, Sargent was a superb portraitist & indeed like the English painter he was not keen on painting heads. Gainsborough liked painting kids & beautiful women & Sargent was of the same mind. Sargent was so sought after that he chose who to paint, however!

His greatest works are two canvases in the Dublin National Gallery. These are for the Church of St Paul’s-without-the-walls (i.e. outside the city walls). These are life sized works with charismatic presence. Also Rinaldo’s Farewell (1614)

In 1631 his fame led to his being appointed Prince of the Academy of St Luke in Rome. The Academy was the professional body of artists in Rome. Hagar (nd), Madonna & Child (1622-3) & Ecstasy of St Margaret (1622)

One of the strangest works in his oeuvre is his Nude Young Man with Cat (c1620–2). Here a nubile young man, flashing come to bed eyes is posed in the typical composition used for females nudes - particularly Venus. Was this a commission or for his own enjoyment?

In Rome he competed with Domenichino for commissions. Those who liked a theatrical approach preferred the man from Parma. Elijah (1621-4), Venus (c1630-4) & Angelica & Medora (nd)
