Lake O’Hara
1916
John Singer Sargent traded his glamorous society portraits for the rugged Canadian wilderness in 1916, hiking into the Rockies to capture this stunning view of Lake O'Hara. The vibrant turquoise water contrasts beautifully with the jagged, snow-capped peaks and dark evergreen forests surrounding it. Painted with loose, energetic brushstrokes, it shows a master artist completely in his element, capturing the raw beauty of nature rather than high society. This trip was a rare escape for the famous portraitist, resulting in some of his most breathtaking landscape work.
