 | 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

 | Venetian Courtyard c. 1882 |
From: Sothebys

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

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 |
