John Singer Sargent – The Fountain, Villa Torlonia (1907)
Sargent’s oil painting of this Italian villa’s fountain is a masterclass in lightplay—sun dapples the marble, while loose, wet strokes suggest the sound of trickling water. "The couple is Wilfrid and Jane Emmet de Glehn, professional artists and Sargent’s frequent traveling companions."
Sargent’s Life During This Period Exhausted by portrait commissions, Sargent escaped to Italy to paint purely for pleasure. These watercolors marked a return to his early love of landscapes, free from the demands of wealthy patrons. The Villa Torlonia series reflects his private joy in capturing transient effects.
