Singer Sargent Biography
John
Singer Sargent (1856-1925), American painter, who is known for his
glamorous portraits of eminent or socially prominent people of the
period. He was born in Florence, Italy, of American parents. He studied
art in Italy, France, and Germany, receiving his formal art education
at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and in the Paris studio of the noted French
portraitist Carolus-Duran. He spent most of his adult life in England,
maintaining a studio there for more than 30 years and visiting America
only on short trips. Criticized for what some believed to be a superficial
brilliance, Sargent's portraits fell into disfavor after his death.
Since that time, however, these same canvases have been acknowledged
for their naturalism and superb technical skill. About 1907 Sargent
tired of portrait painting and accepted few commissions. He then worked
chiefly on European scenes in watercolor, in a notably impressionistic
style. Among his more famous works are El Jaleo (1882, Gardner Museum,
Boston), Madame X (1884, Metropolitan Museum, New York), The Wyndham
Sisters (1900, Metropolitan Museum), and Boats at Anchor (1917, Worcester
Art Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts).
