Thank you, this is a visual feast for those seeking knowledge and enjoyment in an age where things seem to be going digital and we are losing a connection to the real.
This is what painting means to me. I could almost weep looking at such beauty. Thank you for presenting this video collection. I have yet to see one of his paintings in person; I imagine I would be deeply moved. I have got to make this happen!
@@kenw.simpson1007 Many years ago I read an article where they had x-rayed and analyzed some of his work to try and understand his process. The question being: How did he achieve this seemingly loose, casual and yet masterful style? Personally I think artists should be allowed their secrets but “inquiring minds” will not be denied. Their study revealed that he accomplished this at tremendous effort - painting, repainting, altering, scraping away and painting again until he was satisfied. To me this effort doesn’t diminish his genius one iota. He had a vision and he pursued it relentlessly. Isn’t that in the end what defines a genius?
Thing that separates Sargent from the rest is he never took long breaks and just kept pumping one masterpiece after another. You can tell he was completely dedicated. No wife or kids. Just his entire life painting. I bet he was depressed toward the end of his life but the amount of paintings he produced was amazing.
It's amazing how easily he can go from landscapes to streetscapes to portraiture. Beautiful works. I love the relaxed poses of many of his subjects. Just saw the original of his painting of Lady Agnew (at 25:46) in Edinburgh. Sublime. Thank you so much for putting this video together.
JSS always makes it look so easy... his immense talent is evident in everything he did... be it studies or finished works, regardless of scale... I wonder if he wasn't popular with the art world because he was so damn good... maybe others envied his genius?
seem to have had a photographic memory. The details, the emotions of the subjects faces, captured flawlessly. not my favorite painter but he was a genius. what talent.
Since I like Sargent's watercolours so much and the rest of his work so little I ran this item as a slide show not as a video. I used the directional arrow button right as forwarding/fast forwarding and, being in control, lingered long on many, many items; the left button allowed me to back up if I wanted to contrast some use of wash or line--he is a master like no other. There were no "zooms", "fades", nor music, and it didn't matter at all as I got all I wanted, and much more from the content that pleased me most. I had already watched your earlier version several times and will do so with this one. Thank You.
I do like his watercolors too, which is quite an "admission" for any oil painter, mainly because they are so damn strong and not "wishy washy" like most w/c's!! He has no equal in his portraiture, most of which are oils. They often capture that feeling of "these are people I would like to have known",... particularly some of the women!!
Truly wonderful . Did he never get up one morning and just say to himself I dont think ill paint a masterpiece today.The artists of today pale by comparison . Shear genius..
There's no doubt that Singer Sargent was the best impressionist from a technical stand-point. He managed to combine old master technique with bravura brushwork on par with Velazquez, and to top it all off he synthesised the impressionist technique and use of light in about 6 months. I like Monet, but S Sargent is head and shoulders above him. I think that what mitigates against him is the fact that he wasn't part of the original group of impressionists and that he is known primarily for his wonderful portraits like Madame X and Lady Agnew, which are very much in the genre of 19th century realism. Needless to say he could basically do anything he wanted with a brush.
My most favorite painter! Excellent choice for background music. I have this video in favorites and when I need a JSS fix there it is. Thank you so much for posting.
There's an old saying in computer design: Just because you CAN use an effect, doesn't mean you SHOULD use an effect. Too much zooming. Respect the art - show it COMPLETELY.
Very nice presentation, many paintings I've never seen before, although I'm a big fan of his work and have books and a one hour video on his life as well.
In my opinion the music is perfect as it provides a meditative backdrop for viewing his work. It has the feel of a slow stroll through a vast gallery of his works.
Sargent watercolors are the real star of his career. Sargent began to resent his commissioned portrait works because he began to see it as a job and not painting for himself. During his travels across the near east and Italy you'll see that it was too heavy to lug around a pochade box
Sargent - is the master of chiaroscuro, especially in color and specifically the whites, the light blues, and browns. The photoreceptors in his vision must be exceptionally sensitive to the light he saw in front of him. The range of tonal richness Sargent put into his watercolors demonstrated his ultra-surgical techniques to cover the full spectrum of light to dark palette in a scene, which no digital sensor can yet to replicate. I hope someday I can visit his watercolors in person. To further stimulate his audience's visual response, equally ultra-surgical was Sargent's painstaking use of "triangulation" in nearly every composition in every subject. Between his oil and watercolors, I almost want to say that it was where Sargent conducted a private dialogue with himself, allowing both a commercial and an original artist to cohabitate and thrive together in a single body.
@@siavashshaghighi2655 Very sure, precise hand and eye I suppose. If you ever tried watercolours you know how difficult this medium is. And there are no traces of preliminary drawings - all magic created by brush strokes in one go:)
31:56 Loved this one from the moment I saw it at The Met. She just looks so happy. This was commissioned as a wedding present for this couple with it initially to be a very formal portrait of her posing in evening attire with a dog. Yet, Sargent decided to change things-up by painting her in walking attire and due to dog being unavailable her husband volunteered to take its place. I recently discovered that she's the niece of Civil War hero Robert Gould Shaw who was played by Matthew Broderick in the 1989 movie "Glory." Her wealthy father avoided Civil War service by purchasing a substitute. Meanwhile, her uncle and another uncle by marriage, Charles Russell Lowell, were both killed in action.
Fantastic series. Trying to be the artist I always wanted to be. I am learning so much here. However, the zoom effect takes away part of the image. Very annoying. I want to see all of Mr. Sargents painting and all the other artist in the series as they intended me to see them. The light, the light. Always the light!
I wish this could be updated without the push-in/zoom-in effect. That would be like a Christmas gift. These are some of the greatest paintings that do not need any effect.
This a lovely series! One suggestion: I find the “zoom” effect on each painting to be very distracting. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d think that art students would also find the zoom effect distracting. It obscures the edge details for one thing. If you could remove that feature, I think that would improve the program. One more suggestion would be to show the paintings in chronological order. But again, it’s. A lovely series. Well done!
Sargent is a superb representational artist - far better than John Constable - and can also paint impressionist works with considerable skill - and his portraits are outstanding - as well as his wonderful watercolours .
I like your presentations much better when the paintings are still. A top and bottom border , however slight would be a big plus. But still. Thank you for your work.
has anyone seen THIS painting before? i dont know if it's one of john's but it depicts a woman standing by a window and looking out. she has a flower in her hands behind her back. she is in a room with a mural on the wall depicting many different scenes. what's the name of it? it's been made into a puzzle
i believe i saw one by him that had a woman standing in front of a window with a flower in her hands behind her back. she was in a room with a mural of different scenes. can anyone tell me the name?
I believe he was born in the US but travelled a lot with is parents, studied in France and then spent a good deal of time in England, but also travelled and painted in many countries, finally went back to US to do a mural, in Boston I think, and later died there.
I thought that my A level, with a merit, plus winning a few competitions were great until I gazed upon the works of Sargent, which unlike those of Ozymandias, were, and still are, standing. (Actually: hanging is the correct term)Pip, pip!
His portraits are shocking: real masterpieces. For sure one of my fav artists.
Immensely grateful for this collection.
Thank you, this is a visual feast for those seeking knowledge and enjoyment in an age where things seem to be going digital and we are losing a connection to the real.
When payed he’s portraits were sharp and almost photographic,others were an eye to this man’s soul. I love this Artist.
When you consider how transitory light is, his genius in capturing it shines in every painting he did.
This is what painting means to me. I could almost weep looking at such beauty. Thank you for presenting this video collection. I have yet to see one of his paintings in person; I imagine I would be deeply moved. I have got to make this happen!
Sargent has an almost nonchalant mastery in every aspect of the painters art - from portraits and landscapes to watercolours.

Absolutely. Sargent was phenomenal.

@@CitizenOfTheWorld2025 Yes Chris - but with watercolour you can't do that - and Sargent could paint the most intricate shapes so easily and fluently.
thank you, so much peace and creative style in sargent works.

He was a homosexual
God has a dark sense of humour.

Master of light and of every medium!
Remarquable peintre : tous les sujets sont exceptionnels paysages, portraits … Un GÉNIE !

I don't van Gogh that way. SF/
What a treat! Thank you so much.
This is such a treat for lovers of Sargent's work! Thank you so much!
He’s so versatile, not in just one consistent style and media, but his work changes a lot in technique which I find is lovely. It feels relatable.
Fantastic. My favorite painter. Thanks for putting this together
Да, один из величайших художников своей эпохи.
I could wander off into traffic or off a cliff due to the hypnotic effect I feel.

A complete genius.
Probably my favourite artist of all time, thank you.
Er drückt mit Farbe und Geste die Eigenart des Modells aus , ja wird selbst zu jenem

just curious, who is your favorite painter?
@@begumz.8427I guess you are still curious haha
Beautiful works.
Genius - Especially in watercolors. Wow!
Grandissimo!!..inimitabile !...maestoso in qualsiasi tecnica
MARAVILLOSO ! Para no decir EXRAORDINARIO.Que pintor mas colosal...con todo el sentido de la palabra !

Подсветка нереальная. Супер!
Now I wish to have all pictures on a well printed big sized book!
He knew how to pose his subjects. He was as good as any modern day photograher. His works are in my opinion are second to none.
Far better than any photogrpher
Thank you very much for putting these series together. We only have one portrait by him at san Diego museum of art. I wish we had more
Truly wonderful . Did he never get up one morning and just say to himself I dont think ill paint a masterpiece today.The artists of today pale by comparison . Shear genius..
That is why the well-known artists nowadays do something far away from technique. Because it is extremely hard to be better in technique than Sargent.
He cannot paint any other way; a real actual artistic genius! Touched by the gods...
Wonderful ! Thank you 👁👨🏻🎨💓
Portraits in Palatial surroundings revealing wonderful exspesions and characters of high society.
Brilliant Top Draw..◇◇
Singer is definitely the best modern painter and will never be surpassed. (sui generis)
Just about everyone loves Monet's work but this guy's work is just as amazing, Imo

Nobody better with a brush, watercolor or oil, ever.
Brian Bierig Agreed. Sargent was freaking superhuman.
Agree.
Daphne
And of course Degas a close second.....
I'd say Sargent is in the company of Velazquez when it comes to oil painting. Sargent's economic use of brushstrokes looks so effortless.
Such a skilled artist.
Stunning works!
Wow what a painter he was ❤
There's an old saying in computer design: Just because you CAN use an effect, doesn't mean you SHOULD use an effect. Too much zooming. Respect the art - show it COMPLETELY.
I agree! Did not really notice it at first cuz I'm so mesmerized by his work, but now it bugs me too!!
I agree, no problem with some zooming, but at least show the entire piece please before the zooming starts…thanks….
@@ronschlorff7089 no XD

The zooming betrays the fact that this is just a money making channel, not an art loving one
Lo vi desde niño,creo no equivocarme,pero es de los más grandes.el trazo,el color es un maestro,con todo.

Awesome paintings.
Excellent video and paintings.
Great channel ! Thank you.
Very nice presentation, many paintings I've never seen before, although I'm a big fan of his work and have books and a one hour video on his life as well.
He was such a genius. One gets the feeling he did these off the cuff without much effort. (Why such menacing music?)
In my opinion the music is perfect as it provides a meditative backdrop for viewing his work. It has the feel of a slow stroll through a vast gallery of his works.

creepy music

James Dunlap ....I don’t like the zoom either. I want to see the whole painting as Sargent painted it.
It makes me dizzy and sick!
I meant to say .25 xx I do speed up other videos, tho. 🌺
I agree!!
Use the pause feature - stop it when you get to the size you prefer.
GRACIAS.
EXCELENTE.

Muy Bella y completa la Obra de Sargent
Qué genio!!!
What an amazing painter, he is a genius. His artistic prowess is 2nd to none. Just wondering is this master painter English?
I believe he was born in the US but travelled a lot with is parents, studied in France and then spent a good deal of time in England, but also travelled and painted in many countries, finally went back to US to do a mural, in Boston I think, and later died there.
Sargent...what a talent.
Just a talent ? He was a GREAT genius !!!
I appreciate the zoom as it's intention is to see it more closely.
un pittore straordinario ho sempre desiderato avere un suo quadro si concordo a complete genius
Ich schätze diese Offenheit für das Gefühl.
( May. )✨🌝
Could I receive the title of the third painting displayed and any other information on that?
It's: A Backwater, Calcot Mill near Reading (1888)
An amazing collection... but the zoom is a terrible crime. Let us see the whole paintings and without motion!
Ah.... Y'all will have to Excuse me , but .. John Singer Sargent is the Greatest Artist who has ever lived !!
I thought that my A level, with a merit, plus winning a few competitions
were great until I gazed upon the works of Sargent, which unlike those of
Ozymandias, were, and still are, standing. (Actually: hanging is the correct term)Pip, pip!

Gostei muito!!!
Excellent collection. Thanks! How about one on Duveneck?
Spoke too soon. Found it. Off i go. Thanks again.
🌹🌹🌹
🙏🙏🙏From... Hindustan (india)
Love the zoom
Really wish the titles were given.
You remind me of people in museums who spent more time reading the info card next to the painting than the painting.
