John Singer Sargent
1856-1925
Sargent was raised in Italy by his American parents. His talent for drawing took him to Paris to study portraiture under society artist Carolus-Duran, and he spent 10 years painting the Parisian gentry. When his famous painting, Madame X, was ill-received, Sargent moved to London. The success of Carnation, Lily, Lily Rose launched his career as a portraitist to the rich and famous in both Britain and America. He enjoyed this status for over 20 years and then shocked his audience by announcing that his remaining years would be devoted to landscape and mural studies. |
