Episode Details

John Singer Sargent was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury. He created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolours, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings. In this episode of 'The Lives Of The Artists' podcast I go live with eminent art historian Paola Vojnovic and we discuss his life and work.
