I agree. I didn’t understand why he was so popular (I mean the paintings are certainly lovely) until I went to a Sargent exhibit at the Boston MFA a year ago.
Turning the corner and seeing his portrait of Gertrude Vernon was like being transported to another world, one where she was staring directly at me. It was magnificent!
