John Singer Sargent painted aristocrats, industrialists, writers, politicians and even suffragettes. New exhibition at the Tate Britain in London investigates the interest of the great American portraitist in the attire of his models.
Exhibition displays around fifty oil paintings by the painter along with some of the royal dresses that inspired them. The exhibition is one of the highlights of the cultural spring in London, which can be visited at Tate Britain until July 7. The best example might be Madame X, one of his most famous works on loan from the Metropolitan in New York.
