Sargent was absolutely a virtuoso. A friend once described him as having the visual equivalent of perfect pitch: he seems always to put the right color/stroke/form in the right place. His understanding of light was amazing. His watercolors make this even more obvious, as the medium is pretty unforgiving and his best show total confidence.

I have a high-resolution image of this painting on my computer and look at it from time to time for its lighting effects and for the masterful efficiency of the brushstrokes, which is a hallmark of all Sargent paintings. For me this painting sits just on the edge of Impressionism and Realism. Didn't know it is such a large painting. Sargent is one of my favorite artists and one of the greatest artist who ever lived.

This is one of those paintings that you need to see in the flesh to get the most from, it's a great painting looking at a photo, but the lighting and colours of the original are the most life-like I've ever seen. It's almost supernatural.

One of my favourite paintngs of all time. I am blown away by the emotive aspects of the piece and of course by the plays of light and luminosity. I am an artist, in that I have a degree blah blah blah.. but I have zero talent when I look at the masters, lol. There is no way I could recreate those two little girls, the quiet contemplative look on their faces and the folds of their beautiful dresses and the light hitting it by MEMORY!

I’ve long been a fan of Sargent & visited the major exhibition of his work , at the National Portrait Gallery, in the 1970’s/early ‘80’s….. I bought the catalogue & familiarized myself with some of the portraits & the sitters. It was very gratifying to find that when I relocated to live in France, I found that one of those sitters, who was obviously a Doctor of some renown, had a major road & hospital, in my vicinity, named after him. I salute, Docteur Samuel Pozzi ! 😊

Жыл бұрын
@TheMintyMelon - Are you sure that's not the notecard image that is cropped? The painting itself was cropped by Sargent himself before he completed it. From the catalog description --- ------------ "Canvas, 68 1/2×60 1/2 (174×154); a 3/4 (2) wide painted strip turned over along top and left edges." .....And.... "...Edwin Howland Blashfield, one of the group of artists working at Broadway in 1885, recalled that when he saw the canvas each morning it appeared to have been scraped down so that all the previous night's work was erased, and that this happened again and again. Furthermore, Sargent reduced the canvas by 2 ft. cut from the left, leaving it approximately square, and thereby concentrated the composition which until then had dissatisfied him." - www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/sargent-carnation-lily-lily-rose-n01615

Do not call him an English Painter. This is a glaring inaccuracy and now makes me wonder about all the information shared by the Tate. On your own website you state "He remained an American citizen throughout his life." Sargent was technically an American expatriate. He lived in London part of the time, but also in Italy, France, Spain and the Middle East along with the US. It's true he was very involved in the English Art community. But he was not an "English Painter". I think he was more a citizen of the world of the Upper classes. Still the explanation of the process of the painting is really interesting. Thank you for this.
