1917
John Singer Sargent traded his glamorous society portraits for the muddy banks of the Florida Everglades in 1917 to capture these sun-bathing reptiles. Notice how he uses brilliant, dripping watercolor washes to create the shimmering reflections in the water below the slumbering beasts. While famous for his stiff, formal oil portraits, these spontaneous sketches reveal his true passion for capturing the raw energy of nature with just a few confident, fluid strokes, proving he was a master of light and movement in any medium.
