Painting Description
"Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" is a renowned oil painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, created during the summers of 1885 and 1886. This enchanting work of art, which measures 174 cm by 153.7 cm, is part of the Tate Britain collection in London. The painting's title, derived from the popular song "The Wreath" by Joseph Mazzinghi, reflects the floral subjects that dominate the composition.
The scene depicted in "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" captures an idyllic moment at dusk, featuring two young girls, Dorothy and Polly Barnard, the daughters of Sargent's friend and illustrator Frederick Barnard. They are set amidst a lush garden, surrounded by blooming flowers, including the titular carnations and lilies. The girls are in the act of lighting Chinese lanterns, which emit a soft glow that harmoniously blends with the fading natural light of the setting sun.
Sargent's inspiration for this painting came during a boating expedition on the Thames when he witnessed lanterns glowing among trees and flowers at dusk. The artist's masterful use of the Impressionist technique captures the transient effects of light, creating a delicate balance between realism and a sense of ethereal beauty. The painting's execution involved numerous studies and careful observation, as Sargent worked only during the evening hours to achieve the precise effect of twilight.
"Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1887, where it received widespread acclaim for its luminous quality and technical proficiency. The work is celebrated for its evocative atmosphere and is considered one of Sargent's finest achievements in the Impressionist style. It remains a beloved piece for its portrayal of childhood innocence, the fleeting nature of light, and the beauty of the English garden, encapsulating a moment of serene beauty that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
