alb3681358 Cliffs at Deir el Bahri, Egypt. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 13 3/4 x 24 3/4 in. (34.9 x 62.9 cm). Date: 1890-91.This unfinished landscape is believed to represent the cliffs at Deir el Bahri, near Thebes, Egypt. Its identification is based on the individuality of the rock formations and crown of the cliffs. The work most likely dates from Sargent's trip to Egypt in 1890-91. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3683864 An Old Bridge at Hendon, Middlesex. Artist: Frederick Waters Watts (British, Bath 1800-1870 Hampstead). Dimensions: 21 3/4 x 32 3/4 in. (55.2 x 83.2 cm). Date: ca. 1828.A follower of John Constable, Watts exhibited widely as a landscapist but ceased painting around 1860. In this canvas, his meticulous attention to setting--as in the crumbling brickwork at the end of the bridge--is animated by sprightly figures: passersby on the road, a wader in the water, and a dog hovering at the stream's edge. This painting is thought to have been sent by Watts to the Royal Academy exhibition of 1828. A second version of the subject is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art; a third version is unlocated. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3679937 Egyptian Woman. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 25 1/2 x 21 in. (64.8 x 53.3 cm). Date: 1890-91.Having decided to elucidate in the Boston Public Library decorations the origins of Western religion, Sargent visited Egypt, Greece, and Turkey to sketch and paint just after he received the commission in 1890. In fact, his wish to travel and his long-standing fascination with exotic places may have prompted him to contrive the complex library program, which, as an empiricist, he was obliged to render with as much authenticity as possible. Among the records of this trip in the Metropolitan's collection are portraits such as this one and "Egyptian Woman with Earrings" (50.130.22). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3627170 On the Gulf of Salerno near Vietri. Artist: John Robert Cozens (British, London 1752-1797 London). Dimensions: Sheet: 14 7/16 x 20 7/8 in. (36.7 x 53 cm). Date: September 1782 or later.In May, 1782, Cozens left England for the continent, employed by William Beckford as draughtsman. The party arrived in Italy via the Tyrol and reached Naples by July. On September 18th, the artist and his patron parted and Cozens moved south to Salerno. A number of views along the Gulf of Salerno occur in his sketchbooks from the journey. A pencil outline drawing inscribed "On the Gulf of Salerno -- near Vietri -- Sept. 27" on page 15 of the third "Beckford" sketchbook, now in the collection of the Duke of Hamilton, provides the skeleton of this watercolor, which was probably made several years later in England. Other watercolors of the same stretch of coast are preserved at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Bedford and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3626785 Temple of Bacchus, Baalbek. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 10 x 14 in. (25.4 x 35.6 cm). Date: 1906.The peripatetic Sargent made his second trip to the Middle East in 1905-6 to conduct research for a mural commission for the Boston Public Library. While traveling, he often captured the sights and scenery in watercolor. At the acropolis of the ancient city of Baalbek (Lebanon), Sargent painted a series of watercolors focusing on the effect of warm Mediterranean sunlight on stone using a pastel palette. Here he depicts the Temple of Bacchus, with its distinctive leaning column fragment. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3623533 Portrait of a Man. Artist: Jan Gossart (called Mabuse) (Netherlandish, Maubeuge ca. 1478-1532 Antwerp (?)). Dimensions: 18 1/2 x 13 3/4 in. (47 x 34.9 cm). Date: ca. 1520-25.This is the only independent portrait by Gossart that is signed; the scroll reads, "Joannes Malbodius pingebat." The sitter is turned to the left in a three-quarter view against a dark background, a format that derives from the earlier portraiture tradition of Jan van Eyck and Hans Memling. Like his predecessors, Gossart paid careful attention to tiny details such as the stubble of the beard and the individually painted hairs of the eyebrows, but he emphasized the sculptural form of the sitter in a new and bold way. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Jan Gossart (called Mabuse).

alb3653658 From Jerusalem. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 12 x 17 7/8 in. (30.5 x 45.4 cm). Date: 1905-6.The peripatetic Sargent made his second trip to the Middle East in 1905-6 to conduct research for a mural commission for the Boston Public Library. While traveling through Syria and Palestine, he captured the sights and scenery in a series of watercolors and sketches. In this view from Jerusalem, Sargent recorded the gentle descent of the landscape toward the horizon. The vivid hues of the sky and the contrast of the warm and cool colors on the ground suggest a transitional moment, probably sunset. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3659433 Chalets, Mürren, recto (from "Splendid Mountain Watercolours" Sketchbook). Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 16 x 10 7/8 in. (40.6 x 27.6 cm). Date: August 4, 1870. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3650290 Plate 26 from 'The Disasters of War' (Los Desastres de la Guerra): 'One can't look.' (No se puede mirar.). Artist: Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: Plate: 5 11/16 × 8 1/4 in. (14.5 × 21 cm)Sheet: 9 15/16 × 13 1/2 in. (25.2 × 34.3 cm). Series/Portfolio: The Disasters of War. Date: 1810-20, published 1863.After Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1807 and 1808 brought about the abdication of the Spanish king, violent protests against the French erupted in Madrid. The uprising of May 2, 1808, marked the start of the armed Spanish resistance, which dragged on in guerrilla warfare until 1814. During the war, Goya documented his horror and outrage at the atrocities committed by soldiers and patriots in his series of 80 prints 'The Disasters of War'. Never before had a story of man's inhumanity been told so compellingly, every episode reported with compassion, honesty and respect for the victims. Not until 1863, thirty-five years after Goya's death, was the first of seven posthumous editions of the Disasters published by Spain's Royal Academy, which in 1862 purchased all eighty etched copperplates. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3619445 Mrs. Lewis Thomas Watson (Mary Elizabeth Milles, 1767-1818). Artist: Sir Joshua Reynolds (British, Plympton 1723-1792 London). Dimensions: 50 x 40 in. (127 x 101.6 cm). Date: 1789.Mrs. Lewis Thomas Watson was an only daughter and an heiress. The painting is one of two versions; the other is presumed to be still in the family of her descendants. Even before the first was finished, the second was begun, ordered for or by the sitter's father. Reynolds charged his standard price of one hundred guineas for each, indicating that both were in great part if not entirely painted by him. The white muslin dress and black satin hat were the height of fashion. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3618840 Man with Red Drapery. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 14 3/8 x 21 1/8 in. (36.5 x 53.7 cm). Date: After 1900.While the active pose of this figure is like those seen in some of Sargent's compositions for the Boston Public Library, he painted this sheet with a brilliant immediacy and sensuous vivacity that distinguish it from both the murals and their preparatory studies. The genius of Sargent's watercolor technique is in his ability to suggest form and detail with just a few strokes. A brilliant example of his mastery and efficiency is his rendering of the figure's navel. A small oval of paper is left in reserve; above it, a pool of darker pigment gathers, as if by accident, to describe its contours. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3614837 View of the Villa Lante on the Janiculum in Rome. Artist: John Robert Cozens (British, London 1752-1797 London). Dimensions: sheet: 9 15/16 x 14 1/2 in. (25.3 x 36.8 cm). Date: 1782-83.Like many eighteenth-century British artists, John Robert Cozens traveled to Italy to sketch the landscape. Working en plein air--typically in graphite or black chalk--he captured the essential forms, then colored his sketches with watercolor washes either on the spot, in his Italian lodgings, or sometimes, upon his return to Britain. Cozens made this watercolor of the Villa Lante, on the Janiculum hill outside the ancient walls of Rome for William Beckford, the wealthy author, collector, and aesthete whom he accompanied to Italy in 1782-83. By omitting hard outlines, blotting brushstrokes, and articulating details of foliage and architecture with delicate touches of color, the artist achieved a soft, luminous effect. The low viewpoint causes the buildings to appear dramatically silhouetted against the sky, and reveals an interest in the aesthetic category of the Sublime. The evocative, atmospheric style of Cozens's finest watercolors inspired the following generation, and prompted John Constable, in 1835, to describe his predecessor as "the greatest genius that ever touched landscape.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3640416 Schreckhorn, Eismeer (from "Splendid Mountain Watercolours" Sketchbook). Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 10 7/8 x 16 in. (27.6 x 40.6 cm). Date: 1870.The Schreckhorn is one of the three major peaks near Grindelwald, Switzerland, a town Sargent visited at the end of August after passing the month in nearby Mürren. One of the prime scenic attractions of the area is the glaciers that lie between the mountains. Here Sargent depicted a picturesque vista of the Schreckhorn (center) and the Eismeer ("ice sea"). This sheet comes from the Splendid Mountain Watercolours Sketchbook. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3645549 Anne Dashwood (1743-1830), Later Countess of Galloway. Artist: Sir Joshua Reynolds (British, Plympton 1723-1792 London). Dimensions: 52 1/2 x 46 3/4 in. (133.4 x 118.7 cm), with strip of 7 1/8 in. (18.1 cm) folded over the top of the stretcher. Date: 1764.The sitter was the daughter of Sir James Dashwood, Member of Parliament for Oxford (whose portrait by Seeman is in the Aitken Galleries). She sat for Reynolds four times in the month preceding her marriage on June 13, 1764, to John Stewart, Lord Garlies, later seventh earl of Galloway. The artist presents her in the traditional guise of a shepherdess with a crook, but wearing a fashionable gauze scarf, rubies, and pearls.Her pallor may in part be accounted for by the fact that the flesh tones have faded. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3641349 Ada Rehan. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 93 x 50 1/8in. (236.2 x 127.3cm)Framed: 8 ft. 6 1/4 in. × 58 3/4 in. × 4 1/2 in. (259.7 × 149.2 × 11.4 cm). Date: 1894-95.Born Delia Crehan in Limerick, Ireland, Ada Rehan (1860-1916) moved to America as a child and began performing on stage when she was sixteen years old. An error on a theater bill rendered her name Ada C. Rehan (instead of Crehan), and the name stuck. In 1879, she joined Augustin Daly's theater company, and became internationally renowned for playing in Shakespeare's comedies and other plays. In this portrait, which was commissioned by an American admirer, Sargent accentuates the actor's imposing stage presence, though she is not in character. Sargent elevates her status by showing her in the grand manner and scale typical of paintings of royalty or aristocracy. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
