This exhibition included more than 150 of John Singer Sargent's greatest oils, drawings, and watercolors, and will draw equally from his European and American careers. Sargent, one of the late 19th century's most talented painters and the most sought-after portraitist of Edwardian England and America's Gilded Age, was equally admired as a landscapist and mural painter.
In Boston, visitors were able to view Sargent's famed murals in the MFA's upper rotunda and stairwell; they were the last works the artist completed before his death. These scenes of mythological gods and heroes, whose restoration has just been completed, are always on view at the MFA. |
