高山の池
1907
John Singer Sargent famously traded his glamorous society portraits for the rugged outdoors when he created this shimmering mountain pool in 1907. Notice how the loose, energetic brushstrokes capture the crystal-clear water, letting you see right down to the colorful riverbed stones while perfectly reflecting the sky above. It is a brilliant example of how the master portraitist embraced Impressionist techniques to capture fleeting light and nature's raw beauty, proving he was just as skilled with a landscape as he was with a high-society dame.
