その頃、John Singer Sargentの人生では
生涯をすべて見る1890s
Fourteen portrait commissions a year
In the 1890s Sargent averages fourteen portrait commissions per year, among them the genteel “Lady Agnew of Lochnaw” (1892) and the equally well received “Mrs. Hugh Hammersley” (1892); as a portrait painter in the grand manner he is referred to as “the Van Dyck of our times”.
1895–1919
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.
1898
Asher Wertheimer commissions a dozen family portraits
In 1898 Asher Wertheimer, a wealthy Jewish art dealer living in London, commissions from Sargent a series of a dozen portraits of his family, the artist's largest commission from a single patron; most of them, bequeathed to the National Gallery, are now on display at Tate Britain.
