 | Apollo and the Muses by John Singer Sargent 1921 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
Apollo is
the god of light, the patron of music and fine arts. Often in his attendance
are the muses. Earlier numbers were unclear but the Greeks finally established
nine muses in mythology:
1.
Calliope,
the Muse of epic poetry
2.
Clio,
the Muse of history
3.
Polyhymnia, the Muse of... |

 | Orestes by John Singer Sargent 1922-25 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
Here we see
Orestes haunted by Furies, the goddesses of vengeance.
From: World Book Online Americas Edition
Orestes, in
Greek mythology, was the son of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, the rulers of
Mycenae, or Argos. Clytemnestra and her lover, Aegisthus,
killed Agamemnon after he returned from the Trojan War. Fearing that Orestes
was also in... |
 | Chiron and Achilles by John Singer Sargent 1922-25 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
Sargent
ended up doing two versions of this composition, although both are of
significantly different mediums. The first (Thumbnail below) was part of a base
Bas-Relief for the Rotunda and was of raised painted plaster. The second (featured above) was later created for
the Stairway Ceiling Decorations and was oil on canvas.

 | Low Tide at Cancale Harbor by John Singer Sargent 1878 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
Looking
northerly along the sea wall of Cancale at la Houle -- the harbor. Just beyond
the sail of the boat you can see a dark brownish ramp that leads from the
Lighthouse (not shown off frame left) down into the harbor at low tide. The
"ramp" was replaced by a masonry "jetty" called Cale de la
Fenêtre. You can see the "ramp" in the photo... |

found in your thumbnail gallery page 1, 'Oyster Gatherers of Cancale' is
wrongly referred to as a collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington
DC.
But this
image is a sketch version (you can tell it quickly by the hair color of the boy

 | Robert de Cevrieux by John Singer Sargent 1879 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer | |
 | King Philip IV (of Spain) by John Singer Sargent 1879 Museum of Fine Arts Boston, MA | Sargent, John Singer |
The
painting is a copy of Diego Velázquez's "King Philip IV as a Huntsman"
which is hanging at the Prado. It highlights Sargent's interest in studying
Velázquez for use in his portraits.
Sargent
must have copied this work on one of his trips to Spain. The date is a guess by
me but 1879 coincides with one of his trips to the Prado.
