JOHN SINGER SARGENT
John Singer Sargent was an American-Italian painter from Florence. His works belong to the Realism movement, but Sargent was also influenced by Impressionist style. At the beginning of his career, Sargent painted portraits of high-society figures, yet over time he shifted his focus to mural and landscape painting. His work “Madame X,” featuring a woman wearing a form-fitting black gown, had received negative reviews from critics. Sargent then made the shift towards a more natural subject matter. Among his prominent works are "El Jaleo,” "Gassed," and "Capri Girl."
