John Singer Sargent’s landscapes are underrated.👀 Sargent, who was a superstar of Gilded Age portraiture on both sides of the Atlantic, found himself increasingly weary of the demands of that high-profile life in the early 1900s. He even went so far as to announce he was “shutting up shop in the portrait line,” to focus more on landscapes. And here’s the thing: his landscapes are imbued with the same dazzling variety of brushwork that made his portraits so vibrant. Take a look at his “En route pour la pêche” painting, for example. The way he captures sunlight and deep shadows in that seaside scene—it’s nothing short of brilliant. His landscapes are a testament to his incredible range and skill, revealing an entirely different facet of his artistry. __ 🖼 John Singer Sargent, “En route pour la pêche (Setting Out to Fish),” 1878, oil on canvas, 31 × 48 in., Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, Gallery Fund) #beautiful #wow #amazing #painting #paint #sargent #art #belle #bon #arte #...
