alb3661846 Mannikin in the Snow. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 25 x 30 in. (63.5 x 76.2 cm). Date: ca. 1891-93.Sargent painted this canvas in the company of his fellow expatriate Edwin Austin Abbey in Fairford, Gloucestershire, where the two artists had rented a studio for their work on mural commissions. As a diversion one day, they arranged a mannequin in the snow and painted oil sketches of it from their studio window. The results reveal their dissimilar approaches to art. The critic Royal Cortissoz recalled that Abbey conjured from the mannequin a lifelike medieval troubadour wearing a cloak and a feathered hat (in a painting that has not been located); Sargent, instead, recorded the lifeless dummy that stood before his eyes.

Date: 1912.In 1912 Sargent made several watercolors in the gardens of the Generalife, the former summer palace of the Moorish sultans at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Surrounded by the lush foliage and tiled paths is Sargent's sister Emily, an amateur artist, sketching at her easel. The young woman looking on at the left is Jane de Glehn, an artist and frequent traveling companion; at right is Dolores Carmona, a Spanish friend. Sargent's images of his friends and relatives working out-of-doors are among his most compelling works, conjoining his dual skills as portraitist and plein-air painter.

alb3682785 Lady with the Rose (Charlotte Louise Burckhardt). Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 84 x 44 3/4 in. (213.4 x 113.7 cm). Date: 1882.Sargent's sitter for this portrait was the twenty-year-old daughter of a Swiss merchant and his American wife, members of the artist's cosmopolitan circle in Paris. The monochromatic palette, shallow space, and emphasis on the figure's silhouette pay tribute to the Spanish master Diego Velázquez, whose work Sargent's Parisian teacher, Carolus-Duran, had encouraged him to study. Sargent exhibited the portrait to great acclaim at the Paris Salon of 1882. In the words of the novelist Henry James, it offered "the slightly 'uncanny' spectacle of a talent which on the very threshold of its career has nothing more to learn.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3621782 Venetian Canal. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 15 3/4 x 21 in. (40 x 53.3 cm)Mat: 22 × 28 in. (55.9 × 71.1 cm)Framed (standard exhibition frame): 24 1/2 × 30 1/2 × 1 1/8 in. (62.2 × 77.5 × 2.9 cm). Date: 1913.Like many of his contemporaries, Sargent was captivated by Venice and visited the city frequently between 1898 and 1913. For the focal point of this watercolor, he chose the relatively obscure yet picturesque tower of the Church of San Barnaba. He positioned himself close to the water, as if in a gondola, to present a view looking down the Rio de San Barnaba toward the Grand Canal. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3606263 Brook and Meadow. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 14 x 20 in. (35.6 x 50.8 cm). Date: ca. 1907.Watercolor was well suited to Sargent's fluid painting technique and his longstanding interest in depicting water. Sargent transforms his pigments into a flowing stream with expressive brushstrokes and dashes of blue paint, which ripple across the surface of his composition to suggest the gentle movement of the current. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3601118 Venetian Passageway. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 21 3/16 x 14 1/2 in. (53.8 x 36.8 cm). Date: ca. 1905.Sargent presents a view of a sotto portego, or passageway, from a canal. His interest in the geometry of the scene, with its numerous horizontal and vertical divisions, is apparent in the carefully ruled underdrawing visible at the left. The proximity of the building's facade to the picture plane is underscored by the precise rendering of the bright white, carved spiral stone column at the left in contrast to the recession of the dark corridor. Sargent's low vantage point and watery foreground suggests the experience of viewing the scene from a gondola on the canal, from which access to the city is limited. By leaving the illuminated area at the rear of the sotto portego ambiguous, Sargent evokes the tangle of streets and passageways so characteristic of Venice. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

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.

alb3652423 Open Doorway, Morocco. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 13 7/8 x 10 1/4 in. (35.2 x 26 cm). Date: 1879-80. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

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.

alb3684122 Tyrolese Interior. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 28 1/8 x 22 1/16 in. (71.4 x 56 cm). Date: 1915.During the summer of 1914, Sargent and some friends visited the Austrian Tyrol. Austria's declaration of war on Serbia in July marred the summer's tranquility. "Tyrolese Interior" was probably painted in or near Sankt Lorenzen, in an old castle that had long since been transformed into farmers' quarters. It shows a peasant family at their midday meal against a background filled with religious objects. When the delivery of ten watercolors Sargent sold to the Metropolitan in 1915 was delayed by the danger of transatlantic shipping, he offered to add to the lot this work, which he called "the best oil picture I did in Tirol [sic] last summer.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3632200 Camp at Lake O'Hara. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 15 3/4 x 21 in. (40 x 53.3 cm)Mat: 22 × 28 in. (55.9 × 71.1 cm)Framed (standard exhibition frame): 24 1/2 × 30 1/2 × 1 1/8 in. (62.2 × 77.5 × 2.9 cm). Date: 1916.During a visit to the United States and Canada in 1916, Sargent traveled west to the Rocky Mountains. He visited Glacier Park, Montana, before heading to British Columbia. He spent at least a month painting landscape scenes in Yoho National Park, including this watercolor. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3639465 Spanish Fountain. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 21 x 13 3/4 in. (53.3 x 34.9 cm). Date: 1912. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3676726 Madame X (Madame Pierre Gautreau). Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 82 1/8 x 43 1/4in. (208.6 x 109.9cm)Framed: 95 3/4 x 56 5/8 x 5 in. (243.2 x 143.8 x 12.7 cm). Date: 1883-84.Madame Pierre Gautreau (the Louisiana-born Virginie Amélie Avegno; 1859-1915) was known in Paris for her artful appearance. Sargent hoped to enhance his reputation by painting and exhibiting her portrait. Working without a commission but with his sitter's complicity, he emphasized her daring personal style, showing the right strap of her gown slipping from her shoulder. At the Salon of 1884, the portrait received more ridicule than praise. Sargent repainted the shoulder strap and kept the work for over thirty years. When, eventually, he sold it to the Metropolitan, he commented, "I suppose it is the best thing I have done," but asked that the Museum disguise the sitter's name. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3670847 Two Girls with Parasols. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 29 1/2 x 25 in. (74.9 x 63.5 cm). Date: 1888.Beginning in 1885, Sargent often visited Claude Monet at his home in the French village of Giverny, and he was inspired, over the next few years, to create Impressionist landscapes, boating scenes, and figure subjects. This unfinished canvas, which he painted at Calcot Mill in England's Berkshire countryside, reflects the French master's influence. It depicts the artist's sister Violet, in the foreground, and a friend during a walk in the country. Sargent's spontaneous technique and rapid brushwork are evident in the summary rendering of faces and forms and the fleeting effects of dappled light. 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.

Date: 1890-91.Sargent visited the Middle East several times in connection with a series of murals on the theme of the history of religion, for which he had received a commission from the Boston Public Library in 1890. Traveling in Egypt in 1890-91, he painted this canvas, which shows a man using a simple irrigation device called a shaduf to fill a ditch, from which others are drinking and waiting to fill containers. Like many of his contemporaries, the artist may have believed that life in the region was essentially unchanged since biblical times. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3609223 Giudecca. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 13 1/16 x 20 15/16 in. (33.2 x 53.2 cm). Date: 1913 (?).To the south of Venice, a wide canal separates Giudecca, eight small islands, from the rest of the city. A picturesque charm has long been associated with Giudecca, attracting artists for many centuries--both Francesco Guardi (1712-1793) and Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) painted views of it. However, their images almost always include recognizable landmarks. In his rendering, Sargent avoids identifiable Venetian monuments in recording the characteristics of a typical neighborhood. The inclusion of sailing vessels invokes the city's historical importance as an Adriatic port. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3614866 Two Girls on a Lawn. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 21 1/8 x 25 1/4 in. (53.7 x 64.1 cm). Date: ca. 1889.Sargent probably painted this canvas at Fladbury Rectory, an old house he rented in Worcestershire, England, where he was joined by his mother, his sisters, Emily and Violet, and other guests. "V & Katie Vickers" is inscribed in an unknown hand on the tacking edge of the canvas. "V" presumably refers to Violet, wearing a black dress because her father, Dr. FitzWilliam Sargent, had recently died. The woman in the white frock cannot be identified; no Katie Vickers is known in the Sargents' circle. In any case, the artist was concerned not with capturing individual likenesses but with creating a daring two-dimensional pattern in black, white, and green. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

(55.9 × 71.1 cm)Framed (standard exhibition frame): 24 1/2 × 30 1/2 × 1 1/8 in. (62.2 × 77.5 × 2.9 cm). Date: ca. 1912-14."Mountain Stream" is one of Sargent's most dazzling images based on the theme of flowing water. This exhibition watercolor, which the artist sold to the Metropolitan, differs from his many anonymous views of streams in its inclusion of a bather, which suggests a specific time and place. However, its precise setting cannot be identified; in the early 1910s, when this watercolor was probably made, Sargent painted in the Alps of France, Italy and Austria. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3619704 The Hermit (Il solitario). Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 37 3/4 x 38 in. (95.9 x 96.5 cm). Date: 1908.Sargent based this painting on sketches he had made in Val d'Aosta, in the foothills of the Alps, in northwestern Italy. Although he seems to have been preoccupied with rendering the sundappled landscape in textured brushstrokes, he also included two deer (contrived from a stuffed specimen) and a male figure that evokes religious personages such as Saint Jerome. Yet, when approving The Hermit as the translated title of the picture, Sargent wrote to the director of the Metropolitan, "I wish there were another simple word that did not bring with it any Christian association, and that rather suggested quietness and pantheism.".

alb3605379 John Singer Sargent. Artist: Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, Dublin 1848-1907 Cornish, New Hampshire). Dimensions: Diam. 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm). Date: 1880.Saint-Gaudens's and Sargent's remarkable careers developed along parallel tracks. Both prodigiously gifted, they met in Paris in 1877 or 1878 while Saint-Gaudens was at work on his Farragut Monument and Sargent (1856-1925) was studying in the independent atelier of Carolus-Duran and enjoying early success exhibiting his society portraits and genre scenes in the Paris Salons. Sculptor and painter traveled in the same international cosmopolitan circles, sharing not only friends but also patrons. Saint-Gaudens advised Sargent on sculptural elements for his great mural cycle for the Boston Public Library (1890-1916), and he moved to London in 1886 Sargent reciprocated by introducing Saint-Gaudens to his British colleagues and prospective clients.This medal, Saint-Gaudens's first, is the smallest of the friendship portraits completed during his Paris tenure. The likeness of his friend is both matter-of-fact and piercing. The inscription on the grainy-textured field, BRVTTO RITRATTO, defies exact interpretation. Literally it means "crude portrait," which might imply that the sculptor was apologizing for the hasty execution, but "brutto" may also refer to Sargent's forceful and vigorous person, captured on an ironic miniature scale, or it may be an allusion to ancient Roman coins, with their irregular surfaces and profile portrait busts.The medal was given to the Metropolitan by the wife of Edward Robinson, director of the Museum from 1910 to 1931. The Robinsons were close friends of Sargent's, and they helped the Metropolitan acquire a number of his oils and works on paper, often directly from him.

(48.9 × 36.2 cm)Framed (standard exhibition frame): 21 1/4 × 16 1/4 × 1 1/8 in. (54 × 41.3 × 2.9 cm). Date: ca. 1898-1900.In preparing to paint murals at the Boston Public Library Sargent studied major decorative schemes. He may have visited the Palazzo Clerici in Milan particularly to see its renowned ceiling frescoes by the eighteenth-century Venetian painter Giambattista Tiepolo. Sargent studied the ceiling's composition with a delicate but precise underdrawing before building up the forms with layers of washes. Details of the loosely painted figures at the center of the sheet blend with those of the molding below, creating a confusion of forms that suggests the Baroque splendor of the hall.

(48.9 × 36.2 cm)Framed (standard exhibition frame): 21 1/4 x 16 1/4 x 1 1/8 in. (54 x 41.3 x 2.9 cm). Date: ca. 1883-84.A prolific and successful painter in oil and watercolor, Sargent seems to have sketched almost incessantly. He made rapid studies, such as this one, in preparation for his paintings or simply as impressions of his surroundings. Sargent captures a candid moment between Virginie Gautreau (1859-1915), at left, and an unidentified companion. He eschews detailed anatomical study in order to record their fleeting poses and gestures. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

(202.6 x 149.9 x 16.5 cm). Date: 1902.William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) was a leading art teacher (primarily in New York) and an admirer of Sargent's work. A group of his students commissioned this portrait, intending to give it to the Metropolitan in his honor. Painted in Sargent's London studio, it shows Chase in what he called his "old blue studio coat," which Sargent insisted he wear instead of the frock coat he preferred. Chase's working attire, palette, poised brush, and assured stance suggest his dual persona as a painter and a gentleman. (The initials in the title indicate his election to New York's National Academy of Design.) The students raised the money to pay Sargent by exhibiting the painting in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: ca. 1885-86.On this double-sided sheet, Sargent confidently captures the near final poses of young models Dorothy and Polly Barnard as they appear in his monumental exhibition painting Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885-86, Tate, United Kingdom). In these rapid sketches, Sargent varies the strength and darkness of his pencil, paying particular attention to the position of the girls' arms as they light their lanterns.

Date: 1918.In summer 1918, Sargent traveled to France as an official war artist for the British government. Commissioned to paint a picture commemorating the joint efforts of American and British troops, he spent four months along the Western Front in France and Belgium, sketching and painting in watercolor as he searched for a subject. In this watercolor, Sargent records a camp scene with vehicles, but seems to delight in rendering the trees with his expressive technique and filling the foreground (probably unfinished) with large passages of pigment. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
