John Singer Sargent (January 12, 1856 – April 14, 1925) was an American expatriate painter, considered one of the greatest portrait painters of all time. Born in Florence, Italy, to American and British parents, Sargent displayed an early talent for art, entering the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris at the age of 14 under the tutelage of Carolus-Duran.
Sargent's portraits are renowned for their masterful technique and insightful portrayal of his subjects. He possessed a remarkable ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the essence and personality of his sitters, revealing their inner lives with remarkable skill. His works are not only of high artistic merit but also offer a captivating glimpse into the opulent lifestyle and cultural atmosphere of American high society during his time. Whether depicting industrial magnates, artists, or scholars, his subjects are brought vividly to life, each possessing a unique and unforgettable personality.
Beyond his portraits, Sargent produced a considerable body of landscape and watercolor paintings. His landscapes are characterized by a lightness of touch and vibrant colors, capturing the dynamism of the natural world. His watercolors, on the other hand, often exhibit a more expressive style, imbued with a romantic sensibility.
