More about this artwork

"Man and Pool, Florida," painted by the illustrious John Singer Sargent in 1917, is a luminous exploration of light, color, and form through the vibrant medium of watercolor. This evocative piece captures two men reclining by a shimmering pool of water, set in the lush landscapes of Florida.In this painting, Sargent masterfully employs a broad spectrum of colors and loose brush strokes to portray the relaxed atmosphere and the tranquil beauty of the natural surroundings. The reflections in the water are rendered with blues, greens, and purples, which contrast strikingly with the earthy tones of the landscape and the flesh tones of the figures.The men, absorbed in their serene surroundings, appear almost as part of the landscape, merging softly into the earth and water elements. Sargent's technique of juxtaposing vivid watercolor washes with the spontaneous, fluid outlines emphasizes the ephemeral quality of the moment, suggesting a fleeting snapshot of leisure and contemplation."Man and Pool, Florida" offers a glimpse into Sargent’s skillful handling of the watercolor medium, showcasing his ability to convey depth and emotion through a seemingly spontaneous composition.

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.
