JOHN SARGENT BY THE HON. EVAN CHARTERIS, K.C. WITH REPRODUCTIONS FROM HIS PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS THE careerofJohn Sargent, perhaps the greatest painter of his time, and surely one of the greatest portrayers and interpreters of it in his famous portraits of its most eminent and most representative figures, is here chronicled in successive stages. The figure ofthe hero stands out in high relieffrom the nar- rative which his personality pervades. A wealth ofanecdote and ofletters enriches the record ofwork, travel, and triumph, from student days under Carolus-Duran to the time when the presi- dency of the Royal Academy could have been his and in all ; this opulent detail the character of the man overshadows even the distinction ofthe artist as the true theme ofthe book.
