Over the course of one extraordinary decade\, Sargent achieved recognition by creating boldly ambitious portraits and figure paintings that pushed the boundaries of conventionality. \nImmersed in a cosmopolitan circle of artists\, writers\, and patrons\, Sargent was able to navigate a successful path through the French exhibition system while achieving acclaim and awards. Beyond the portrait studio\, he traveled in search of inspiration for his art—finding subjects in Italy\, the Netherlands\, Spain\, and North Africa. This exhibition gathers Sargent’s diverse works from this period to illuminate his path to becoming an artist\, which was indelibly shaped by his experiences in the French capital. These visually stunning works provide a compelling view of the Paris art world of the late 19th century. \n$60 for Carriage Barn members / $75 for non members \n
