Painting Description
"Villa di Marlia, Lucca: A Fountain" is an oil painting by the American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent, created in 1910 during one of his sojourns in Italy. This work is part of Sargent's larger body of plein-air landscape paintings, which he pursued more fervently after the turn of the century, having achieved great success as a portraitist. The painting depicts a scene from the Villa di Marlia estate in Lucca, Tuscany, which was known for its lavish gardens and water features.
Measuring 71.1 x 55.9 cm, the painting is characterized by Sargent's loose brushwork and vibrant light effects, which capture the dynamic interplay of light and shadow across the fountain's structure and surrounding foliage. The composition focuses on the ornate fountain, possibly the Fontana dei Putti, set against the backdrop of the villa's well-manicured gardens. Sargent's treatment of the water, with its shimmering reflections and sense of movement, demonstrates his masterful ability to render the transient qualities of nature.
"Villa di Marlia, Lucca: A Fountain" is representative of Sargent's landscape oeuvre, in which he explored the serene and idyllic settings of European gardens. His work in this genre is noted for its departure from the formal portraiture that dominated his earlier career and reflects a more personal and impressionistic approach to painting. This piece, like many of his landscapes, was likely painted for his own enjoyment and as an artistic exercise, rather than for a commission.
The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Sargent's work beyond his portraiture. It stands as a testament to the artist's enduring fascination with the effects of light and his skill in capturing the essence of a place through his distinctive painterly style.
