#art, John Singer Sargent

(Self-Portrait/1892/Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain)

He was considered the greatest portrait painter of his generation… He was born in Florence to US parents and was raised in Paris… Sargent was a skilled painter whose technique was impeccable, especially while drawing with the brush… His portraits are all very classical and that caused critics to view him as being superficial. However, his studio paintings showed that his style drew closer to Impressionism… Singer Sargent was born in 1856 and died in London 69 years later. He spent most of his life in Europe and in his later years he dedicated his work to murals and to painting outside, away from his studio. He was a very private man who remained single all his life, surrounding himself with family and with many artists friends, as well as others, like Henry James.
