Description

From 1874 to 1882, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) produced more than 200 paintings and water-colors except portraiture, including figures in landscape settings, architectural studies, seascapes, subject paintings, and studies after old masters. From powerful studies of models in Paris within the mid-1870s to driving paintings set in Venice within the early 1880s, the works published on this volume of the catalogue raisonné show the number of his aesthetic responses. He worked within the studio and en plein air, travelling widely throughout the eight years covered on this volume and painting in Paris, Brittany, Capri, Spain, North Africa, and Venice.
This is the first time that Sargent’s early work has been mapped so comprehensively. With only a few exceptions, this beautifully produced book illustrates the entire pictures under discussion in color. Each and every painting, including a few which have never been published before, is documented in depth with full provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography, and in many cases new information is provided. The volume also reproduces a wealth of Sargent’s preliminary and related drawings and of comparative works by other artists.
