SynopsisBorn in Italy, trained in Paris and a resident of London, John Singer Sargent (1856 1925) became Boston s favorite painter in the 1880s. His commissions from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to decorate its new building s grand staircase and rotunda resulted in one of Sargent s last and most ambitious works. Sargent regarded the entire space as a giant canvas and brought together all the pictorial, decorative and architectural elements with a painter s skill and vision. This compact volume offers a guide to the murals and their surroundings, elucidating their allegorical subjects drawn from classical mythology to emphasize the museum s role as the guardian of fine arts., Born in Italy, trained in Paris and a resident of London, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) became Boston's favorite painter in the 1880s.
