[@philsmith7398]

I don't know how much work this took, but MANY thanks for posting this huge collection for us all to enjoy. Much appreciated!

[@QueenBee-gx4rp]

phil smith Thank you so much for all the work that went into this! Exquisite! I’ve seen quite a few of these in person and they have a moving impression on the soul.

[@Some0ne001]

I am so honored to be a direct relative of this wonderful artist. Beautiful art indeed.

[@starling9172]

Are you an artist as well? Do you have any of the collection? Is there a biography on Artist Sargent? Any paintings with colored people? What country has such beauty in it's landscape?

Sargent- a truly beautiful painter!!

[@dr.reidsheftalltruthinscie2007]

The portraits are exquisite.

[@jonathanrod.]

I will also thank you for this amazing video of yours. Great compilation.

[@frankbrenner4852]

One of my absolute favorite painters. A true virtuoso with the brush.His watercolors redefine the medium.

[@KTR2022]

+Frank Brenner He's also one of my favourites! He's incredible.

[@dpavlovsky]

Love that Alligator watercolor of his. You can see how watercolor too had an impact on his oil paintings.

[@Dr10Jeeps]

Two things. First, thank you for posting this video. Much appreciated. Second, Sargent has always been my favourite artist. His technique is breathtaking. I remember years ago as a young man seeing a large reproduction of a Sargent painting of a restaurant dining room with vases and wine glasses on a table. From a distance of 10-15 feet I was astounded at the details. When I got closer I realized that those "details" were simply a few. extremely skillful brush strokes. I will never be a Sargent (or even close), but I have learned so much from looking at his paintings.

[@lostinthefaq]

To me the essence of the great masters is not to reach the impossible level of craft, but man... there are 700 paintings. I'm not neither convinced they are all the craft made by J. Sargent in his life. And they are absolutely well done, how many other paintings did he do? The main thing is to recognize the dedication and the love he put in the art, and his work. It is plenty of amazing artist out there, and they are good at their way, they will never be good as Sargent because only him can paint like him. And they can paint like they can do.

[@chrishayman1747]

These beautiful paintings have moved me to tears. Oh to be able to paint light like he has!

[@19hhh51]

This is a great posting! For a longer viewing of each work : click on the settings icon at the bottom right of the video, choose speed, and click 0.5 ; it will slow down the music as well, but I think possibly creates a better atmosphere for such incredible works.

[@pannolane]

so many for one person how did he do it,every one so different from the last painting.

[@timowthie]

some of his work seems so loose and impresionistic while are others (mostly portraits) are much tighter.

[@davidinger961]

My feelings too ! If only mine were as good as is loose ones! , what looks to be I imagine quickly done impressionist type art wonderful skill though

[@JiveDadson]

@@davidinger961 The oils were not quickly done. The strokes might be applied quickly, but each one was planned meticulously, and might be wiped away and repainted many times. He was known to wipe out the entire head of a portrait a dozen times or more.

[@ramonlopeznote]

I just read in wikipedia the life of JS Sargent and he was a much american as the himalaya Yeti. The only one "american" painter and he spend most of his life and training in Europe.

[@patriciajenkins2984]

love singer sargents work but wish paintings were named

[@Raquel-or7kr]

Patricia Jenkins I agree

[@hartmannvondunaburg6768]

Simply perfection, he was a great genius, love his work, tried to do some studies with digital software, but if you begin copies you must see that is so hard, his technique is too brilliant !!!

[@blakeyonthebuses]

Such confidence! Never really took much notice of him before, but his portraits are excellent. Thanks

[@Ahibasabala]

It's a strange feeling to look into a long gone world like this, everything, everyone has a time and a place.

[@Karloffrules]

I agree.

[@helihobbit]

+Ahiba Sabala those worlds have gone; timelessly the art remains locked into the era

[@bugisami]

You could improve the video with some information about each painting: name, year, size and medium.

[@amherst88]

Breathtaking! Thanks very much for posting. Some of the seeming 'incidentals' are the most breathtaking of all.

[@TheSkoobey]

Pretty incredible. Guy was a prolific master. I like his images of classical buildings the most of all.

[@adamm7440]

His eye for classical architecture could very well have been due to his studying at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. The impact that school had on art and architecture is still underrated if you ask me... most especially for American artists and architects.

[@TheSkoobey]

Adam D Nice, thank you for the info. I didn't know he'd studied there. Do you know if he was trained as an architect, or was he a painter from the start?

[@josealexandre6632]

SARGENT is a painter so fertile, so wide in all subjects he painted that it´s difficult not to include his name within the classic list of good painters in his age. But, as always, quite often he painted to eat (portraits) where he had do "please", not exactly to leave his psychologic analysis. Landscapes ? Shadowings ? - yes, he mastered some. Stanley Whitman said "Sargent is one of the kind as a witness, a reporter, an illustrator of his time, superb. But, if he painted what he saw, not always he saw what we had painted".

[@pisicapisica7024]

I have read little or next to nothing about what Sargent said or wrote about the subject of Art or the practice of it. He was a laconic man. Not very talky. He used his eyes and hand to say everything he wanted to commmunicate to others. Some artists should just shut the heck up and work at producing better art, like Sargent did. Sargent was not an 'expert', like many are these days. He was a Master.

[@mattakubodimasen10]

Want to download this gorgeous fucker but it must be at least 2GB with how high definition this is woah

[@stevequinn6793]

Thanks for posting. The images at 25:44 and 27:50 are _not_ by Sargent. They are rather amateurish studies (digital I believe) after Sargent's "Carnation, lily, lily, rose."

[@dodeqaa]

+steve quinn They are, Sargent executed them as studies for the actual piece.

[@stevequinn6793]

I don't mean to be simply contrary, but I must disagree. I did not leave my above comment in a spirit of flippancy. This is something of which I know a thing or two. I normally would not bother with a discussion of this type, but I have strong feelings about the integrity of the masters and I don't want to see people being fooled. Take a look at my profile picture. It is a digital study I did of Sargent's "Bedouin Man". I did this on my iPad 3 using an painting app called "Procreate". If you want to see more of my paintings go to my Facebook page, Stephen J. Quinn, "My Paintings". I can do this type of work because I studied fine art illustration, with very good teachers, for five years. This involved many hundreds of hours doing studies from Velazquez, Sargent, Rockwell, Nicolai Fechin and others. The two images I pointed out are indeed studies _from_ "Lily, lily, carnation, rose", but they are not _by_ Sargent. They are simply not good enough. Google image search does list them under "studies for lily lily carnation rose", but I believe they are mislabeled. Please believe me and don't be fooled by this mislabeling.

[@dodeqaa]

+steve quinn Thank you for bothering to discuss this with me, it is very good of you. I have strong feelings on the subject as well. Impressive master study on the procreate! I didn't think your original comment as being flippant at all, and I don't doubt your practical knowledge on the techniques of painting. Your work shows you are very well studied and practiced. I think they're authentic because both are listed in volume V of Sargent's catalog raissoné compiled by Richard Ormond and Elaine Kilmurray and published by Yale University Press, ISBN:978-0-300-161113. 25:44 is in a private collection of a Lily Millet and numbered 875 in the book. 27:50 is in the private collection of Violet Sargent's descendants and numbered 874 in the book. Both images are verified against Sargent's memorial exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London and numbered in the catalog for that exhibition as 416 and 376 respectively. I feel it is possible for oil sketches to be executed rapidly, with less than polished drawing and modelling of planes, where the rapid exploration of the impression of light and colour is the goal. Joaquin Sorolla did many small studies in oil colour that are similar, called apuntes if I recall correctly.

[@stevequinn6793]

Thank you for the citation. I guess I could be wrong. They just seem so out of place with, especially, his later work. When I see something like this and realize that I could do better, it just screams "fake" to me. I hope someday to be able to study the originals. Have a good day.

[@dodeqaa]

+steve quinn I know what you mean, I felt it was executed quite haphazardly, but I'm sure he had his reasons and it suited his purpose. I hope to study the originals one day too! Have a great day!

The allround genuine and genius article..a sense of time and place..now long since gone.Grateful to have the work so well preserved. Thanks

[@mattmaughan6871]

Does anyone know the painting of the 2 children at 12:16?

[@carlpen850]

Sargent... a pure master of color, design, draftsmanship, he was fantastic in his handling of the pure realism of his portraits to the loose post impressionistic use of watercolors. Again, it's hard to find anyone who knew "color" and how to use it like Sargent did.

[@jalilbenkadou2192]

+Carl Pen Monet, Gauguin and Renoir did!

[@carlpen850]

+Jilali Benkadour -- Gauguin was a slob and some of his paintings were downright ugly, was never a fan of Renoir, found his colors to chalky and I didn't care for the way he handled figures. Monet was also one of my favorites though he never applied his skills for doing portraits. Sargent could and did do it all and extremely well. Gauguin never came close to displaying the draftsmanship of Sargent nor did Renoir. Also Gauguin's idea of what a painting should be was totally different than Sargent so to compare the 2 is not really fair but Sargent's color schemes sang beautiful harmony, where as Paul G's use of color discord clanged and banged across his canvases. In other words ... Sargent's use of color made beautiful music and Gauguin's usually made a lot of noise.

[@jalilbenkadou2192]

Carl Pen Agreed, but, as for comparisons, comparing any two artists is not fair even when they are teacher and student working on the same canvas in the same workshop. I appreciated the way you described the 2 artists' use of colours; but I think it'd be easier if we compared the way 2 artists rendered les scènes de genre, portraits or still-lives than if we compared the way they dealt with colours or light, especially when it comes to 2 artists who lived in places as opposite as Europe and Tahiti. This said, if I mentioned Monet, Renoir and Guauguin it's because those pioneers of modern painting, along with Van Gogh, Sisley and others, set new and revolutionary basis of rendering light and colours when those artists' moved, along with their chevalets, from closed workshops to open-air fields...

To understand Sargent's mastery in only two paintings..... his Portrait of Madame X... and 3:51

[@lastname354]

i don't know why that painting at 3:51 caught my interest the most (5 minutes in). I felt as if the woman is sitting with in front of me, i don't know how to explain it but it gives an strong aura/presence. Perhaps you can share your thoughts on that painting?

[@katem8371]

My friend, who will be 100 in October, loves Sargent but is computer illiterate. Any chance I could, for a fee, get a download to a thumbnail I can put in a digital frame for her?

[@TheJoyfulEye]

amazing artist

[@janhangland5499]

Paul Allen has loaned his landscape paintings to SAM (Seattle Art Museum). There is only one Sargent in what he is sharing with us "The Chess Game". Too bad the colors don't show up as beautiful as the real painting. Four rooms of paintings and "The Chess Game" was my most favorite. I had no idea how beautiful a Sargent painting could be. I hope if Mr. Allen has others that he will share those with us as well. Show ends May 23, 2017. This link is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@BavonWW]

[@raymundojimenez3378]

[@albertjohn1473]

Sargents technique was so fluid, he ran it through watercolour as well. It was all about essentials and economy. Throw in his brilliant draftman skills. He knew it all could be painted, any time, any where.

[@stevie68a]

A genius. Such nuance, feeling, mastery, taste, etc., etc.

[@georgwagner1967]

How come I never have heard of this astounding Genius?

[@carlpen850]

+Georg Wagner-- What world are you living in? 42 years ago I bought a book on John Singer Sargents watercolors, a very well produced publication, which I still have in my library with no intention of ever parting with. Sargent was one of the most talented portrait painters of the "Gilded Age" but believe it or not was criticized for being too "French" in his style of painting (like that should make any difference where pure talent is concerned). Tired of doing portraits for the rich by 1898, he there after only took on occasional portrait commissions for those that knew how to beg $$. By the end of the 19th century thru to the remaining years of his life Sargent painted in watercolor, and to this day I think his watercolors are some of the best ever done.

[@matthewthomasjames]

Anyone who appreciates art will have generally heard of him and seen his work. He's by no means an obscure artist.

[@BolaniBottle]

Like if u came here bcuz Howard stern mentioned him on AGT

[@rawaat.2933]

Does anyone know the name of the track that's played at 11:32? Thanks!!

[@jybuys]

Big thank you for making this video !

[@nsartandhistory]

music by ?

[@laurelsternberg5861]

The title is a misnomer. It could truthfully be called 700 images. Many are not paintings, but rather sketches, in charcoal, water color or oil. You'll see a few versions of the same image, because the sketches are shown. So don't expect to see 700 finished masterpieces. The music track starts out nicely, then disappears, so choose your own music from another source.

[@josealexandre6632]

Laurel Sternberg - Yes, I fully agree. The selection criteria was not ideal but this being a visual "offering", we can not complain, can we ? There is somewhere here in YTube a selection of his Portraits - the rich Wasp class, and some of them are remarkable. As for the music (or the lack of it) ... well, if would be Debussy, Ravel or Mozart´s Divertimentos, I would have miss the No-Music blackhole. But silence sometimes is pure gold... Cheers.

[@jamesdunlap3962]

Lovely! One suggestion would be to present the painting in chronological order.

[@jimbeaux4988]

[@lucillesmithson7068]

[@starling9172]

Does this come in book form for closer examination?

[@letsif]

Sargent was a great technical painter and draftsman. His paint handling skill and observational powers are breathtaking. I would call him a natural illustrator, more than an important artist with something new to say. Perhaps his only masterpiece is Madame X.
