Throughout his career-and particularly in the period from 1898 to
1913-John Singer Sargent painted the spectacular architecture and
scenes of everyday life in Venice, as he sat alongside the Grand
Canal or in a gondola in the sleepy side canals. This lavishly
illustrated book presents all the luminous masterworks that Sargent
completed during that fertile fifteen-year period: oils and
watercolors that reveal his taste for the Renaissance, Baroque, and
high style in art and architecture as they were seen in the city's
unique light. The book reproduces and documents 141 works,
including several that are published for the first time. An
authoritative essay explores the aesthetics of Sargent's Venetian
work, places it in the context of his oeuvre as a whole, explains
Sargent's relationships with his patrons in Venice, and discusses
the exhibitions and marketing of this work in London and New York.
The book also provides a map of Venice marking every known location
that Sargent painted and displays dozens of contemporary color
photographs of the sites. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for
Studies in British Art
