Immersing himself in the country's rich culture, he studied Spanish masters old and new, lavishing particular attention on works by Diego Velázquez in the Prado. He rendered the distinctive architecture of the Alhambra as well as other palaces and churches, and he captured lively scenes of ports and villages. Intrigued by Spanish dance and music, Sargent created dynamic views of flamenco and the famous dancer La Carmencita. A map and an illustrated chronology document the artist's seven trips to and travels through Spain. This handsome book showcases, for the first time, Sargent's captivation with Spain and the remarkable works of art now associated with it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Gallery of Art, Washington\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 2, 2022-January 2, 2023) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Legion of Honor\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (February 11-May 14, 2023)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Cash\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator of American and British paintings at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. \u003cb\u003eElaine Kilmurray\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eRichard Ormond\u003c\/b\u003e are co-directors of the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 10.7 x 10 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 04, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765776646432,"sku":"9780300266467","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d8d15649a4896a235eed3ab596f80c54.webp?v=1780279647","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/sargent-and-spain-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
