Painting Description
"Cornelius Vanderbilt II" is an oil on canvas portrait by the prominent American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent. Painted in 1890, the work depicts Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy and influential Vanderbilt family, known for their significant contributions to the railroad and shipping industries in the United States during the 19th century. As the eldest son of William Henry Vanderbilt and the grandson of the family patriarch, Cornelius Vanderbilt, also known as "Commodore," Cornelius II was a prominent figure in American high society and business.
Sargent, renowned for his portraiture, captures Vanderbilt II in a manner that reflects both his social status and the era's industrial affluence. The portrait is characterized by Sargent's deft brushwork, attention to detail, and ability to convey the sitter's personality and stature. Vanderbilt is portrayed with a dignified and assertive presence, indicative of his role as a leading businessman and social figure of the Gilded Age.
The painting is part of a broader body of work by Sargent that documents the elite of American and European society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His portraits are celebrated for their psychological depth and the elegance with which he rendered his subjects, often set against the backdrop of their luxurious surroundings.
"Cornelius Vanderbilt II" by John Singer Sargent is not only a testament to the artist's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the visual culture and societal values of the period. The portrait is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
