It's hard to forget Sargent's portrait of heiress Daisy Leiter in all her silk swirling glory.The windswept look, however, has been around for awhile. The portrait was modelled after Reynolds' Lady Halliday, a work which, at the time, belonged to Sargent's friend Asher Wertheimer

'Meddlesome Millie', the Duchess of Sutherland, is one of Sargent's most famous portraits. Outside the ethereal sparkle, she ran an ambulance unit in WWI & also campaigned for worker reform (hence the nickname) that saw the removal of lead paint from use @ Staffordshire potteries

A rare figure study from Sargent's time in the Middle East, Franciscan Monk in the Garden of Gethsemane depicts Brother Giulio Valorai leaning against a tree reportedly from the time of Christ. Like Rosina in the olive grove, figure and nature blend to become one symbiotic form.

Painted around 12 years after the portrait of Sargent, this portrait of Tyng reveals changes in the Copley’s technique.

In Sargent's portrait he used thick layers of pigment in the face and hands. In Tyng’s, a more liquid paint allowed him to delineate details more precisely.

John Singer Sargent's "The Fountain, Villa Torlonia, Frascati, Italy" (1907) is a portrait of two fellow artists: American figure painter Jane de Glehn and her husband, Wilfrid, a British Impressionist painter. They often traveled with Sargent and appear in many of his works. 🎨

The more I dig through Sargent's women, the more I find stories of tenacity, creativity, talent, life. Gertrude Kingston- actress, manager, journalist-friend to Ellen Terry-almost ran for Parliament, invented the Kingston lacquer technique, and taught public speaking to women. 😍

Despite the dark nature of its subject matter, watercolours looked to embrace a kind of visual optimism. Sunlight on dappled trees, dozing soldiers, refractions of light on twisted metal all convey a strange tinge of beauty amidst destruction.

everyone! I hope you stay as cool and fashionable in the spring sunshine as Sargent's 'Ladies in the Shade: Abries' of 1912. Also, a big hat also never hurt anyone so I might recommend that too...

"A Capriote" (1878) bears traces of his underdrawing and evidence of several changes in the model’s pose and in the arrangement of her skirt. These revisions suggest something of process as he developed the composition.

I love John Singer Sargent's paintings of naked boys laying around.

A strange and beautiful symmetry between early seascapes of the 1870s, and those of American landscape painter A balance between light and crisp Impressionistic modernity.
