急流の小川
circa 1904 -11
John Singer Sargent, best known for his glamorous society portraits, completely let his hair down with this energetic landscape. Painted around 1904-1911, the piece captures a brook tumbling over rocks with incredible speed, likely during his travels in the Alps. Instead of careful blending, Sargent uses bold, loose washes of blue and purple to show the water's movement, leaving the white of the paper to act as bright, foaming highlights. It’s a perfect example of how he mastered *en plein air* painting, capturing the fleeting light of nature before it changed.
