A little fanart of one of @waysofink’s characters, inspired by John Singer Sargent’s work ✨
Thomas McKellar (c1916-24) & Model (nd). The latter three drawings are of d’Inverno (c1904) & show Sargent’s superbly sensuous & powerful nudes. Each work would have taken a couple of hours & were done in a period of great artistic virility.
A century ago being gay could lead to imprisonment & hard labour so Sargent’s work in revealing a hidden gay world is revolutionary. Nicola Reading (c1904-7) is an image of his lover & Bather, Florida (1917) was painted on an estate there owned by a gay couple.
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
@bluetworedone this is The Judgement. a very beautiful painting, but sargent’s draftsmanship is so masterful i almost prefer the sketches.
One last Venice financial history walk: I got side tracked in this alley on the trail of John Singer Sargent’s painting of the Calle della Rosa with the Monte di Pietà (Lending bank) , Venice, c. 1904.
These four depictions of Venice over a century ago vividly illustrate the different styles of the artists ~ Édouard Manet’s realism / Claude Monet’s more dreamlike visions / JMW Turner’s visionary atmospherics / and JS Sargent’s immediacy

Hope you are all having a great Sunday!✨✨✨

I love the #stories surrounding art. #Sargent’s ‘scandalous’ portrait of Mme. Gautreau, he had to change the strap & the name to Mme X. Did #Sickert’s Ripper painting mean he was the serial killer? One of my favs continues to defy interpretation, #Giorgione’s La Tempesta #vss365
My first master study ✨
Trying my hand at John Singer Sargent’s ‘Head of a Capri Girl’ to improve my colours and head drawing/painting.
On seeing Robert Hughes discuss John Singer Sargent’s portrait, Madame X, I realised that those were the kind of paintings I wanted to make. To this day my obsession with the single figure portrait of a woman/femme has held fast and I can’t see it stopping any time soon." [2/2]
Depictions of Venice that demonstrate the different styles of three painters from about the same era ~ Manet’s realism, Monet’s more dreamlike visions and Sargent’s immediacy
Sargent’s achievement as a portrait draftsman

British artist Henry Tonks depicts his distinctively-attired friend (and fellow war artist) John Singer Sargent. Together, they witnessed the shocking field of wounded, gas-blinded men that would inspire Sargent’s epic ‘Gassed’ (detail at R) https://t.co/MSegXpv7iZ
