ca. 1890-94
Most people know John Singer Sargent for his fancy Gilded Age portraits, but he spent decades obsessing over a massive mural project for the Boston Public Library. This vertical sketch is a design for one of the library's archways, packed with mythological chaos—from a sun god and a red serpent wrestling at the top to a serene, haloed figure encased in a glowing blue celestial sphere below. It’s a wild, swirling mix of religion and mythology that shows a completely different, more experimental side of the artist compared to his polished society paintings.
