Netflix has used Sargent's portrait of Mrs Hammersley as a centre piece to their new remake of Rebecca. I don't think it was the right painting for it. I feel it should have been something more like the Duchess of Sutherland. Anyone else managed to catch it? What did you think?

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

One of these is Sargent's Mrs Meyer and Children from 1896 and the other is an unsuccessful forgery.

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.

For the early 1920s his subjects are unique. I don't see a lot of male nudes outside of John Singer Sargent's charcoal works. As for paintings, I think HENRY SCOTT TUKE had the market cornered.

As for British impressionists, he was rarity among them.

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. 😍

John Singer Sargent's charcoal portraits are literally unbelievable. You did that??? With a piece of charcoal??? Witchcraft. Actual witchcraft

Feel like taking a chromatic, or chronological, saunter through some of Sargent's best works? Google Art Project's Sargent page is a treasure. It connects him to movements, artists, and methods within the art historical zeitgeist. https://t.co/QJmZshNA2Q

Though was a bit of an anathema to Modernist artists and critics, there still may be unexplored traces of his legacy in the movement. David for example, was Sargent's assistant at the same time he was producing works like 1913's Ju Jitsu.

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...
