这本书是对19世纪末至20世纪初最杰出的肖像画家约翰·辛格·萨金特（John Singer Sargent）生平与作品的引人入胜的介绍。

 

约翰·辛格·萨金特（1856-1925）是他那个时代最著名的画家之一。他最为人称道的精湛肖像画不仅捕捉到了模特的惊人相似之处，还展现了他们的身份与个性，以及一种能量与亲密感。这些肖像画以娴熟流畅的笔触呈现，证明了萨金特对细节的非凡关注以及他高超的人物刻画能力。然而，萨金特远不止是一位肖像画家，他在广泛旅行中所描绘的那些引人入胜的地方和遇到的人们都证明了这一点。

 

这本引人入胜的书探索了萨金特的生平与作品，将他的艺术实践置于他所生活的时代背景之中。从他在欧洲的多元文化背景童年和在巴黎的工作室训练开始，本书记录了他如何崛起成为国际知名的肖像画家，直至第一次世界大战爆发时的最后作品。书中还涉及了他的旅行、友谊以及影响他艺术实践的个人联系，这是对这位非凡艺术家及其至今仍令人着迷的画作的真正颂扬。

 

This book is an engaging introduction to the life and work of John Singer Sargent, the most accomplished portrait painter of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century.

 

John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) is one of the most famous painters of his time. The masterful portraits for which he is best known capture not only a remarkable likeness to his sitters, but a sense of identity and personality, an energy and intimacy. Conveyed with deft and fluid brushwork, these portraits are testament to Sargent’s exceptional attention to detail and adept characterisation. But Sargent was much more than a portraitist, as revealed by the beautifully evocative scenes of the places that he visited and the people that he encountered on his extensive travels.

 

This fascinating book explores the life and work of Sargent, contextualising his practice within the times he lived. Beginning with his cosmopolitan childhood in Europe and studio training in Paris, it charts his rise to fame and establishment as a leading portraitist internationally, up until his final works during the outbreak of the First World War. Touching on his travels, his friendships and the personal connections that influenced his practice, this a true celebration of an extraordinary artist and his paintings, which continue to captivate today.
