Sargent and Spain - A review by Lola Jiménez Blanco

When John Singer Sargent first arrived in Madrid in 1879, he not only confirmed his admiration for Velázquez at the Prado, but he immediately spread his fascination throughout the country, which he visited again and again up until 1912. From Santiago de Compostela to Granada, local characters, scenes of daily life and dazzling monuments stimulated his imagination and provided new and exotic subjects to his art. This lecture will synthetically explore the so called “Spanish craze”, America’s fascination with Spanish culture during the Gilded Age and beyond, with the aim of contextualizing and assessing Sargent’s place in the international reformulation of Spanish art and culture critical fortunes. This conference by expert Lola Jimenez-Blanco is linked to the John Singer Sargent's Fascination with Spain Explored in Landmark Exhibition at National Gallery of Art.
