Albert de Belleroche (half portrait) c. 1882 Private Collection Unknown, USA |
Albert de
Belleroche (1864-1944) was a fellow art student in Carolus-Duran's studio. He
joined the atelier in '82 at the age of eighteen making him the Freshman to the
Upper Classman Sargent who was twenty-six. The dedication to "baby
Milbank" is actually the senior Sargent affectionately/teasingly nodding
to the new kid --
"Milbank" being... | GA | igrkio | |

Portrait of Mrs. Daniel Sargent Curtis 1882 |
Mrs. Daniel Sargent Curtis
c. 1882
She was the
mother of Ralph Wormeley Curtis -- cousin to Sargent and fellow American artist
in Paris. The painting is very dark, though in person you can see gradations of
dark colors for the background.
John would
later paint her with her husband, son and daughter-in-law in 1898

Venetian Courtyard c. 1882 |
From: Sothebys
Venetian
Loggia was painted during the years 1880-82, an intensely fertile period for
Sargent—a time of extensive travel and the search for new and exotic
subject matter, when the confluence of fresh experiences and varied stimuli fed
the artist’s creative senses and led to some of his most visually
intriguing and original... | GA | igrkio | |
Pressing the Grapes Florentine Wine Cellar 1882 Beaverbrook Art Gallery Fredericton, NB |
When I saw this in Denver (July 2003) I found it to have an overall
purple tone in the painting evoking, obviously, the wine process. What you can't see very well in
this image are boys turning a large wine press inside the room below and to the
right of the window.

Italian Girl with Fan 1882 Cincinnati Art Museum Cincinnati, OH |
The
painting is of the Venetian model Gigia Viani. She is used by John continuously in most of his
Venetian studies. This particular portrait stands out from his other Venetian
work in more ways than one. First of all, you can't dismiss its enormous size. At
2.38 meters high (7.8 feet) it is clearly larger than life. It is also one of
the few... | GA | igrkio | |
Venetian Onion Seller 1882 |
The
painting is very much in the vernacular of Velázquez.
