his urbanity and familiarity with the staterooms of ocean liners, Sargent was

For this book and exhibition, the second in an ongoing series, the National Portrait Gallery held an op ..."

" Portraiture is a demanding art requiring the artist to capture a likeness and render it revealing some hint of the personality behind the image. A two-pronged task, it requires great technical skill and an intuitive eye. In both these respects, John Singer Sargent stands out as a portrait artist of major stature.Born in 1856 in Florence of American parents, Sargent showed artistic aptitude at an early age and was enrolled at the Acade ..."
