John Singer Sargent. Portrait of Madame X, 1883-4. This is a big one, one of the pivotal points in #Painting, society, feminism, and even the eventual rise of American art as dominant. The scandal that erupted is hard to overstate in importance and impossible to describe for 21st c. readers in only 500 letters. It was no eureka moment but a nonlinear brawl with lots of sharp turns and ruined reputations, but within 10 years it had revolutionized mores, fashion, and Sargent's career.
