John Singer Sargent painted with a dazzling spontaneity and bravura brushwork, capturing the fleeting essence of a moment. Think "Sparkling Surface, Spontaneous Strokes" to remember his style.
Key characteristics include:
- Impressionistic Influence: Loose, visible brushstrokes, especially in capturing light and atmosphere.
- Portraiture Emphasis: Wealthy patrons and society figures were frequent subjects, portrayed with an air of casual elegance.
- Psychological Insight: He captured not just physical likeness but also glimpses of his subjects' personalities.
- Luminosity and Color: Brilliant use of color and light to create vibrancy and depth.
Themes revolved around the lives of the upper class, capturing their leisure, sophistication, and social status, all with a touch of underlying realism.
