More about this artwork

At first glance, John Singer Sargent’s "Alpine Pool" invites viewers into a serene, untouched corner of nature. Created in 1907, this evocative painting captures the essence of a hidden alpine water body, shimmering under the light of a clear, possibly early morning sky.Sargent masterfully uses vibrant and varied brushstrokes to create a dynamic composition that feels both spontaneous and intricately detailed. The foreground of the painting is dominated by the transparent, calm waters of the pool, through which one can see an array of pebbles and rocks. The reflection of the sky in the water adds a mesmerizing blue hue that contrasts beautifully with the warm earth tones of the rocks and the submerged plant life.Around the pool, scattered rocks and patches of grass add texture and depth to the scene. The vegetation is rendered in greens and yellows, suggesting the lushness of high-altitude flora. Despite the seeming tranquility, Sargent’s handling of light and shadow injects a lively energy, suggesting the ever-changing conditions of this secluded spot.

Born in Florence to American expatriate parents, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) is considered Europe's leading portrait painter of the Edwardian era. He was educated at both Accademia delle Belle Arti and Paris's École des Beaux Arts. While in Paris, under the guidance of Émile–Auguste Carolus–Duran, a portraitist and muralist, Sargent learned to paint directly from observation without first sketching, employing a fluidity, influenced by the Impressionists. Sargent created more than 2,900 paintings, mainly portraits and landscapes from his travels across the Atlantic, Europe, the Middle East and America.
