Derweil im Leben von John Singer Sargent
Das ganze Leben1895–1919
The “Triumph of Religion” murals for the Boston Public Library
From 1895 through 1919, for almost thirty years, Sargent works on his largest-scale work, the mural decorations “Triumph of Religion” for the Boston Public Library, showing religion's progress from pagan superstition to the ascension of Christianity; he never completes the final mural of the cycle.
1905
His first major solo show of watercolours
In 1905 the Carfax Gallery in London holds Sargent's first major solo exhibition of watercolour works; in watercolours he is able to indulge his earliest artistic inclinations for nature, architecture, exotic peoples and noble mountain landscapes.
1905–1914
Summer journeys with the de Glehns
Between 1905 and 1914 Sargent's frequent travelling companions are the married artist couple Wilfrid de Glehn and Jane Emmet de Glehn; the trio often spend summers in France, Spain or Italy, and all three depict one another in their paintings.
