Revered in the United States (his Portrait of Madame X is regarded as the Mona Lisa of the American art collection conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York), he is also famous in the United Kingdom, where he spent most of his career. In France, however, his name and work remain largely unknown, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay in fall 2025 hopes to change.<br /> <br /> No monographic exhibition has previously been devoted to John Singer Sargent in France. Yet it was in France that the young painter received his training, developing his style and network of artists. It was there that he also enjoyed his first successes and created a number of his masterpieces, including Dr Pozzi at HomeHome (1881, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles) and The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit (1882, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). Designed in partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the exhibition &quot;Sargent. Dazzling Paris&quot; aims to introduce the painter to a wide audience. The exhibition brings together over 90 of John Singer Sargent’s works, including some that have never been exhibited in France. It traces the meteoric rise of the young artist, who arrived in Paris in 1874, when he was eighteen years old, to study with Carolus-Duran. The exhibition covers his career up to the mid-1880s, when he moved to London after the scandal caused by his portrait of Madame Gautreau (Madame X) at the Salon.<br /> Source: <a href="https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/whats-on/exhibitions/sargent-dazzling-paris" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.musee-orsay.fr/en/whats-on/exhibitions/sargent-dazzli...</a><br /> <br /> Sargent, Paris and the world<br /> <br /> Shaped by his nomadic childhood, Sargent, despite being fully established in Paris, remained an inveterate roving painter who was most inspired when on one of his myriad travels around France or in the southern Mediterranean countries of Italy, Spain and Morocco. He returned armed with plein air drawings and sketches, which he used as an aid, in his Pais studio, to create the ambitious compositions that he showed at the Salon.<br /> (…)<br /> <br /> Travel Paintings<br /> <br /> The young Sargent, who rejected historical subjects outright, soon established himself as a painter of reality and aligned with the nascent “naturalist” movement. Yet he showed no interest in modern urban or industrial life. In his travel paintings, the artist explored various places and cultures, although the majority of his subjects tended to be rural or traditional in nature, such as the folk dance motif. Prone to cliché at the start of his career, Sargent gradually honed his originality, noticeable in his paintings of Venice, for instance, in which he depicts a sombre, more authentic and working-class face of the city.<br /> <br /> A clear reflection of the artist’s ‘pictorial’ considerations, each painting became an opportunity for Sargent to undertake a precise study of particular effects of light or colour.<br /> <br /> Sargent’s early works slowly introduced the artist to the Parisian public and critics who kept a close eye on the development of his singular talent.<br /> Source: Information text at the entrance to the section &quot; Sargent, Paris and the world&quot; and “Travel Paintings”<br /> <br /> Clockwise from top left:<br /> Moorish Buildings in Sunlight (1879-1880 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)<br /> ---<br /> Alhambra, Patio de los Arrayanes (Courtyard of the Myrtles) – (1879 – private collection)<br /> <br /> At the end of the summer of 1879, Sargent traveled to Spain, visiting Madrid, then Seville and Granada. Fascinated by the architectural complex of the Alhambra palace, a masterpiece of the Nasrid dynasty, Sargent stopped there to paint several studies. This one depicts the Court of the Myrtles. The artist was particularly interested in the reflection of the large pavilion in the pool at the center of the courtyard and the effects of light and shadow, rendered with great freedom of brushstroke.<br /> ---<br /> Courtyard, Tétouan, Morocco (1879-1880 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)<br /> <br /> Source: Text accompanying the works in the exhibition<br /> <br /> ------------------<br /> <br /> Superbe (mais très fréquentée) exposition &quot;John Singer Sargent - Éblouir Paris&quot; au Musée d'Orsay.<br /> <br /> John Singer Sargent (Florence, 1856 – Londres, 1925) est, avec James McNeill Whistler, l’artiste américain le plus célèbre de sa génération et sans doute l’un des plus grands peintres du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle. Adulé aux États-Unis (son portrait de Madame X est considéré comme la Joconde de la collection d’art américain du Metropolitan Museum of Art à New York), il est aussi célébré au Royaume-Uni où il a effectué la majeure partie de sa carrière. En France, cependant, son nom et son œuvre restent très largement méconnus, ce que l'exposition du musée d'Orsay à l'automne 2025 espère changer.<br /> <br /> Conçue en partenariat avec le Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, l’exposition « Sargent. Éblouir Paris » vise à faire découvrir ce peintre à un large public. L'exposition réunit plus de 90 œuvres de John Singer Sargent, dont certaines n'ont jamais été présentées en France. Elle retrace l'ascension fulgurante du jeune artiste, arrivé à Paris en 1874 à l'âge de 18 ans pour étudier avec Carolus-Duran. L'exposition couvre son parcours jusqu'au milieu des années 1880, période où il s'installe à Londres après le scandale suscité par son portrait de Madame Gautreau (Madame X) au Salon.<br /> Source: <a href="https://www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/expositions/john-singer-sargent-eblouir-paris" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/agenda/expositions/john-singer-sarg...</a><br /> <br /> Sargent, Paris et le monde<br /> <br /> Fait de son enfance nomade, Sargent, bien qu'établi à Paris, demeura un peintre itinérant invétéré, puisant son inspiration au cours de ses nombreux voyages à travers la France ou dans les pays méditerranéens du sud, comme l'Italie, l'Espagne et le Maroc. Il revenait muni de dessins et d'esquisses réalisés sur le motif, qu'il utilisait, dans son atelier de Paris, pour créer les compositions ambitieuses qu'il exposait au Salon.<br /> (…)<br /> <br /> Peintures de voyage <br /> <br /> Le jeune Sargent, qui rejetait catégoriquement les sujets historiques, s'imposa rapidement comme un peintre du réel et s'inscrivit dans le mouvement naturaliste naissant. Pourtant, il ne manifestait aucun intérêt pour la vie urbaine ou industrielle moderne. Dans ses peintures de voyage, l'artiste explora divers lieux et cultures, même si la plupart de ses sujets étaient ruraux ou traditionnels, comme le motif de la danse folklorique. Enclin au cliché à ses débuts, Sargent affina peu à peu son originalité, perceptible par exemple dans ses peintures de Venise, où il dépeint un visage plus sombre, plus authentique et plus populaire de la ville. <br /> <br /> Reflet évident des considérations picturales de l'artiste, chaque toile devenait pour Sargent l'occasion d'étudier avec précision des effets particuliers de lumière ou de couleur. <br /> <br /> Les premières œuvres de Sargent le firent peu à peu connaître du public et des critiques parisiens, qui suivirent avec attention l'évolution de son talent singulier.<br /> Source : Texte d'information à l'entrée de la section « Sargent, Paris et le monde » et « Peintures de voyage »<br /> <br /> Dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, en partant d’en haut à gauche :<br /> Bâtiments mauresques au soleil (1879-1880 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)<br /> ---<br /> Alhambra, Patio de los Arrayanes (cour des Myrtes) – (1879 – collection particulière)<br /> <br /> A la fin de l’été 1879, Sargent se rend en Espagne, à Madrid, puis à Séville et à Grenade. Fasciné par le complexe architectural du palais de l’Alhambra, chef-d’œuvre de la dynastie nasride. Sargent s’y arrête pour peindre quelques études. Celle-ci représente la cour des Myrtes. L’artiste s’intéresse tout particulièrement au reflet du grand pavillon dans le bassin au centre de la cour et aux effets d’ombre et de lumière, traités avec une grande liberté de touche. <br /> ---<br /> Cour à Tétouan, Maroc (1879-1880 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)<br /> <br /> Source: Texte accompagnant les oeuvres dans l'exposition</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/42164783@N06/">@acalyon93 AC Astier</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/42164783@N06/54956000213/" title="Vitrine de Noël Galeries Lafayette"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54956000213_683e14f4d2_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Vitrine de Noël Galeries Lafayette" /></a></p> <p>Paris</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/160782571@N07/">Photo Australis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/160782571@N07/54954908587/" title="Paris spring 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54954908587_4d4c09c9c4_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Paris spring 2025" /></a></p> <p>Paris photo walks with a Nikon D7500</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/160782571@N07/">Photo Australis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/160782571@N07/54954908577/" title="Paris spring 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54954908577_a594991fcc_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Paris spring 2025" /></a></p> <p>Paris photo walks with a Nikon D7500</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/160782571@N07/">Photo Australis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/160782571@N07/54954908582/" title="Paris spring 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54954908582_1d556b3c73_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Paris spring 2025" /></a></p> <p>Paris photo walks with a Nikon D7500</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/202691984@N08/">jeremy dimpre</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/202691984@N08/54956113035/" title="Renault 4 aux Invalides"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54956113035_52d1d5c1a7_m.jpg" width="240" height="202" alt="Renault 4 aux Invalides" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/160782571@N07/">Photo Australis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/160782571@N07/54956038849/" title="Paris spring 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54956038849_02b056789f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Paris spring 2025" /></a></p> <p>Paris photo walks with a Nikon D7500</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/160782571@N07/">Photo Australis</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/160782571@N07/54955802946/" title="Paris spring 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54955802946_74c5bd4beb_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Paris spring 2025" /></a></p> <p>Paris photo walk</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/tyrone-fleming/">Tyrone Fleming</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tyrone-fleming/54955777491/" title="FRANCE - PARIS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54955777491_9797ab19a5_m.jpg" width="240" height="158" alt="FRANCE - PARIS STREET PHOTOGRAPHY" /></a></p> <p>FRANCE STREET PHOTOGRAPHY.
