 | Lights and Shadows, Corfu by John Singer Sargent 1909 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer | 
"Sargent
once confessed that enormous views and huge skies did not tempt him. Many of
his outdoor watercolor sketches reflect this outlook, for he tended to focus on
objects bathed in light and color rather than broad panoramic views. In this

he was staying in 1909,... |
 | Under the Rialto Bridge by John Singer Sargent 1909 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
Photo's and history of Rialto Bridge

 | Villa di Marlia, Lucca: The Balustrade by John Singer Sargent 1910 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |

painted in one of the villa di Marlia
near Lucca. He painted many like this in Tuscany and around Rome. He
combines the elegance of the architecture with the foliage of the garden -- the

composition.
This
simplicity and grandeur, cleanness and harmony... |
