"Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" is an iconic oil painting by the American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent, completed between 1885 and 1886. The painting is celebrated for its exquisite depiction of two young girls lighting paper lanterns amidst a lush garden setting, suffused with the soft glow of twilight. This work is considered one of Sargent's masterpieces and is notable for its impressionistic style, capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere with remarkable sensitivity.

The inspiration for "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" came during a boating trip along the River Thames in the summer of 1885, where Sargent was struck by the sight of Chinese lanterns illuminating the evening. The title of the painting is derived from the refrain of a popular song of the time, "Ye Shepherds Tell Me," which evokes the floral elements present in the scene. Sargent meticulously planned the composition, choosing to paint en plein air to authentically capture the natural light. He worked on the painting over two successive summers, taking advantage of the brief period each day when the light was just right.

The models for the painting were the daughters of Sargent's friends, the illustrator Frederick Barnard and the artist Francis David Millet. The setting was a garden in the village of Broadway in the Cotswolds, where Sargent was staying with fellow artists. The painting's delicate interplay of light and color, combined with its serene, almost magical atmosphere, has made it a beloved piece in the annals of art history.

"Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" was first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1887, where it received widespread acclaim. Today, it is housed in the Tate Britain gallery in London, where it continues to captivate audiences with its enchanting portrayal of innocence and the ephemeral beauty of twilight.
