カプリ島
1878
Long before John Singer Sargent became the go-to portraitist for high society, he was wandering Italy capturing local life with loose, energetic brushstrokes. In this 1878 scene from Capri, two figures enjoy a moment atop a sun-baked white wall—one seated and playing a tambourine, the other dancing with arms flung wide against a hazy mountain backdrop. The painting feels like a quick, joyful snapshot of a summer day, showing the artist experimenting with light and movement rather than stiff, formal poses. It’s a charming glimpse of Sargent letting his hair down before fame called.
