John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), a prolific and versatile American expatriate painter based in England, enjoyed great international acclaim and patronage. By 1900, when his reputation as a portraitist reached its apogee, he had been elected a member of London's Royal Academy of Arts and New York's National Academy of Design and was an Officier of the French Order of the Legion of Honor. By about 1915 he had also achieved distinction as a painter of outdoor scenes, especially of dazzling watercolors made during his travels. This publication, which describes his career in brief and reveals the expanse of works by Sargent in the Museum's collection, accompanies an exhibition that recognizes the seventy-fifth anniversary of Sargent's death and the fiftieth anniversary of an immense gift of his works by his sister, Mrs. Francis Ormond.
