Painting Description
"Portrait of Carolus-Duran" is an oil painting by the American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent, completed in 1879. The work is a tribute to Sargent's mentor, the French painter and art instructor Charles Auguste Émile Durand, known as Carolus-Duran. The portrait is a testament to the close relationship between the pupil and the master, as well as an acknowledgment of the influence Carolus-Duran had on Sargent's early development as an artist.
In the portrait, Carolus-Duran is depicted with a confident pose, reflecting his status as a successful society portraitist. He is shown seated, holding a pair of gloves in his right hand, with his left hand resting on his thigh, exuding an air of relaxed elegance. The painting is characterized by Sargent's deft brushwork and sophisticated use of light and shadow, which would become hallmarks of his style. The artist's ability to capture the personality and demeanor of his subject is evident in this work.
Measuring 46 x 37 1/2 inches (116.8 x 95.3 cm), the portrait is housed in the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. It was painted during Sargent's stay in Paris, where he studied under Carolus-Duran at the École des Beaux-Arts. The painting not only highlights the technical skills Sargent acquired under his mentor's tutelage but also serves as a symbol of the passing of traditional techniques from one generation to the next.
"Portrait of Carolus-Duran" is considered an important work in John Singer Sargent's oeuvre, as it captures the essence of the artist-teacher relationship and stands as a milestone in the young artist's career. The painting was well-received at the time of its creation and continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
