Painting Description
The "Frieze of Prophets" is a significant work by the American artist John Singer Sargent, located in the Boston Public Library. Created as part of a larger commission for the library's McKim Building, which was designed by the architect Charles Follen McKim, the frieze is a series of mural paintings that adorn the walls of the library's third floor, specifically in the grand space known as the Sargent Gallery.
Completed between 1895 and 1916, the "Frieze of Prophets" consists of a procession of life-sized figures representing prophetic figures from various religious and cultural traditions. The frieze is part of a more extensive series of murals by Sargent that explore the theme of the development of religion. The prophets depicted in the frieze are solemn and contemplative, and they are positioned against a gold-leaf background, which gives the artwork a luminous quality.
Sargent's work on the Boston Public Library murals was considered one of the most ambitious mural projects of his time in the United States. The "Frieze of Prophets" is particularly noted for its synthesis of different artistic styles and its reflection of Sargent's extensive travels and studies of different cultures. The frieze showcases Sargent's mastery of the human form, his skillful use of color, and his ability to convey a sense of spirituality and intellectual depth.
The "Frieze of Prophets" has been praised for its artistic significance and contribution to American art. It remains a major attraction for visitors to the Boston Public Library and is an important part of John Singer Sargent's artistic legacy. The work is also a testament to the Gilded Age's investment in public art and the cultural enrichment of civic spaces.
