More about this artwork

John Singer Sargent's watercolor painting entitled "Borgo San Lorenzo" captures a quaint yet vibrant scene of the Italian village of the same name around the year 1910. The work beautifully illustrates Sargent's mastery of the watercolor medium and his ability to encapsulate a location's essence with brisk, confident strokes.In this composition, the viewer is presented with a series of buildings characteristic of Italian architecture from the early 20th century. The buildings are adorned with red-brown tiled roofs, and their rustic, sun-washed façades are punctuated by green shutters. A notable feature is the clock tower on the right, gently suggesting the passage of time over this peaceful locale.Sargent uses a wash of blue to represent the sky, providing a stark contrast to the warm tones of the buildings. The use of shadow and light plays an essential role, infusing the scene with a sense of depth and dimension despite the seemingly simple execution."Borgo San Lorenzo" is a fine example of Sargent's outdoor sketches, where he excels in capturing fleeting moments with great sensitivity and spontaneity.

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.
