John Singer Sargent (Firenca, 12. januar 1856 – Chelsea,14. april 1925) bio je američki slikar,
koji se smatra jednim od vodećih portretista svoje generacije, poznat po prikazu luksuznog
života elite u edvardijsnakoj eri.^[1][2] Tokom karijere je naslikao oko 900 slika na ulju i preko
2000 akvarela, kao i brojne skice i crteže. Na njegov opus su snažno uticala brojna putovanja
- od Venecije i Tirola, preko Krfa, Bliskog istoka, Montane, Mainea i Floride.
Roditelji su mu bili Amerikanci, ali se obrazovao u Parizu prije nego što se preselio u London.
Sargent je stekao međunarodnu slavu i uspjeh kao tvorac portreta, ali ne prije kontroverzi i
kritika; njegov rani rad "Portret Madame X", koga je poslao u Pariški salon sa ciljem da ga
konsolidira kao establišmentskog slikara, umjesto toga je izazvao skandal. Njegov rani
opus je karakterizirala tehnička preciznost, koju je kasnije zamjenila spontanost. Njegovi
radovi po narudžbi su bili u skladu sa Grand manner stilom portreta, dok su neformalne studije i
pejzaži djelomično odražavli impersionizam. U kasnijem životu je Sargent bio ambivalentan prema
ograničenjima portreta, te se više posvetio slikanju murala i radu u en plein airu. Najveći dio
života je proveo u Evropi.
