In the decade leading to his scandalous and triumphant ‘Portrait of Madame X,’ twentysomething expat portraitist John Singer Sargent made the very most of the city’s salon society scene. A new exhibit at the Met, ‘Sargent and Paris,’ captures the young artist’s decade in Paris at its peak. ⁠
⁠
“The Met cleverly borrowed a number of significant portraits by Sargent’s contemporaries, like his teacher Carolus-Duran, his rival Léon Bonnat, the impressionist progenitor Édouard Manet, and the impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, to create a room before the famous ‘Madame X’ that crystalizes the ways in which Sargent’s great portrait really was so radical and different,” Puck’s Marion Maneker writes.⁠
