"'The Matterhorn': A Water Color by John Singer Sargent
Water color painters increasingly become the nature-painters of our time. They would go further to explore the mountains, to discover the hidden valleys, to measure the total scene. Those who were satisfied with the more accessible scenes of the lowlands are now venturing into the highlands.
John Singer Sargent, the distinguished American artist, did more than record a mountain scene in his water color, 'The Matterhorn.' He has captured the majesty of the mountain, the grandeur of the landscape, and the serenity of the scene. The painting is part of an exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, in the Sargent Room, through March 28.
Sargent's water colors are known for their freshness and spontaneity. He often painted outdoors, capturing the essence of the landscape in a few quick brushstrokes. His water colors are a testament to his skill and his love of nature."
