Jason Kottke didn’t have high hopes for this Nerdwriter video on John Singer Sargent, thinking he was ‘some fusty 19th-century painter who was not as interesting as the Impressionists’. Eight minutes later he was Sargent’s newest fan.
The video features Sargent’s ‘Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose’, shown here previously via a Tate Shots video on how Sargent painted his finest work.
