John Singer Sargent was one of the most celebrated American portraitists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, renowned for capturing the elite figures of the Gilded Age. In this docent-led talk, we will examine how Sargent shaped public images of the wealthy and influential through these deliberate choices, and how his portraits reveal broader social values at the turn of the twentieth century. We will also revisit the controversy surrounding his infamous portrait of Madame X, exploring how public reaction shaped both his career and his legacy.
