 | Painting of Gabriel Faure 1889 |
French
composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) is widely regarded as the greatest
master of French song. Sargent met Fauré in Paris when he was living
there and studying. He fell in love with his work and would be a big supporter

 | Portrait of Claude Monet 1889 National Academy of Design New York, NY |
Though Sargent's work was increasingly more and more about
portraits, diverging substantially from the work Monet was doing, the two men
retained a very close friendship.
A wounderful account of this was written by Martin Birnbaum called "John Singer Sargent,
