      </div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s" align="justify">Do you think you may own a painting by John Singer Sargent? We <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/authentication.php">authenticate</a>, <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/appraisal/painting-appraisal.php">appraise</a> and issue certificates of authenticity (COA) and provide consultations for all paintings by John Singer Sargent.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/ladyastor.jpg" alt="Lady Astor 1909"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Lady Astor,” (1909), oil on canvas, 78.7 x 40″, National Trust, Cliveden, England.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">John Singer Sargent was one of the most successful and gifted artists of his time. Though he is generally considered an American painter, Sargent was in fact born in Florence, Italy to American expatriate parents and spent most of his life abroad, particularly in Paris and London. He initially studied art in Italy and Germany but received some of his best training in Paris under the famous painter Carolus-Duran.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_selfportrait.jpg" alt="Self-Portrait"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Self-Portrait,” (1907), oil on canvas, 30 x 25″, Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy.</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_portraitofcarolusduran.jpg" alt="Portrait of Carolus Duran 1879" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Portrait of Carolus-Duran,” (1879), oil on canvas, 46 x 37 15/16 “, Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Although he only spent a year of his entire life in America, some of his best work was created there including portraits of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and decoration for the Boston Public Library. He also painted a well known series of portraits of Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_robertlouisstevenson.jpg" alt="Robert Louis Stevenson"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Robert Lewis Stevenson,” (1887), oil on canvas, 20 1/16 x 24 5/16″, Taft Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH.</div>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Robert Lewis Stevenson and His Wife,” (1885), oil on canvas, 20 Â½ x 24 Â¼”, Steve Wynn Collection, United States.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sargent was highly influenced by the work of Diego Velazquez and his work is often compared to the great master by art critics. Sargent is perhaps best known for his highly expressive portraits set in interesting landscapes and backgrounds and his portrayals of exotic beauties.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_eljaleo.jpg" alt="El Jaleo, 1882" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“El Jaleo,” (1882), oil on canvas, 93 3/8 x 138 Â½”, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA.</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_lacarmensita.jpg" alt="La Carmensita 1892"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“La Carmencita,” (1890), oil on canvas, 90 x 54 Â¼ “, Museé d’Orsay, Paris, France.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">One portrait in particular, “The Portrait of Madame X” portrays the striking image of a socialite and was Sargent’s favorite, but was misunderstood in his time. When it was unveiled in the Paris Salon of 1884, it was met with great negativity and Sargent moved to London shortly thereafter out of apparent shame. The apparently arrogant stance, stark white shoulders and overall drama created in this portrait of the 23 year old Gautreau was too shocking even for a fashionable French audience.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_madamex.jpeg" alt="art" alt="Portrait of Madame X, AKA Virginie Amelie Avegno Gautreau 1884"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sargent secured a number of wealthy patrons in Paris as well as London, most notably was the Pailleron family.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_edouardpailleron.jpg" alt="Edouard Pailleron"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Edouard Pailleron,” (1879) oil on canvas, Museé d’Orsay, Paris.</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_mmepailleron.jpg" alt="Mme. Pailleron"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Madame Edouard Pailleron,” (1879) oil on canvas, 82 x 39″, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Just as Sargent was a resident of the world, his painting style and techniques were also varied. He cannot be easily defined into one category of painting, though he dabbled in Impressionism with his “Claude Monet Painting at the Edge of a Wood.”</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_claudemonetpaintingattheedgeofthewoods.jpg" alt="Claude Monet Painting at the Edge of a Wood 1887" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Claude Monet Painting in a Meadow near Giverny,” (1883), oil on canvas, 21 Â½ x 25 1/2 “, The Tate Gallery, London, U.K.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Hints of Impressionism can also be seen in his portraits later on, like this one of the artists’ sister:</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_amorningwalkmrsvioletormond.jpg" alt="A Morning Walk, Mrs. Violet Ormond 1888" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“A Morning Walk, Mrs. Violet Ormond,” [sister of John Singer Sargent] (1888), private collection.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sargent would probably be best described as a Realist/Impressionist, though he is truly in a class of his own. In a time when the world was becoming infatuated with Cubism, Fauvism and Impressionism, Sargent stayed true to the type of Realism that he enjoyed painting. He worked in nearly every medium on paper from oil painting to charcoal and watercolor and created numerous portraits, sketches, genre pieces and in his later years, landscapes and sculpture. It is said that after 1907 he created very few portraits, mostly focusing on other artistic endeavors in his later years.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Shoeing the Ox,” (1906), oil on canvas, 23.6 x 28.14″, Aberdeen Gallery of Art, Scotland.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sargent became friends with a number of prominent artists of the day, in particular Paul Helleu. Sargent painted Helleu and his wife several times throughout their lifelong friendship.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_paulhelleuandhiswifealice.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" alt="Paul Helleu and His Wife Alice 1889"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Paul Helleu and his wife Alice,” (1889), oil on canvas, 26 1/8 x 32 1/8″, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Throughout his career Sargent managed to be a very prolific painter, leaving nearly 1,000 oil paintings, more than 2,000 watercolors and countless charcoals and sketches behind.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_twocats.jpg" alt="Two Cats 1880" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Two Cats,” (1880), charcoal sketch, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/Sargent_Dog.jpg" alt="Dog 1880" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Dog,” (1880), charcoal sketch, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.</div>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">“Swans,” (1890), charcoal sketch, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">More than 500 of these paintings were portraits, mainly of his wealthy patrons. Sadly, his bold style of contemporary Realism wasn’t widely considered revolutionary during his lifetime and was all but dismissed. He has since been realized as one of the greatest masters of his era and appreciation for his art has been steadily on the rise.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/sargent/sargent_caspargoodrich.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" alt="Portrait of Caspar Goodrich 1887"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today most of Sargents’ work is housed in public and private collections in America and Europe, and perhaps in your own home.
