'John Singer Sargent Watercolors' Opens at Brooklyn Museum
Spanish Soliders, 1903

This week, the Brooklyn Museum opened John Singer Sargent Watercolors, reuniting for the first time the only two major bodies of watercolors shown in the United States during the artist's lifetime, which were acquired by the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in the early twentieth century. Many of the 93 works on view had not been exhibited in decades. The exhibition is on view in Brooklyn through July; afterwards, it travels to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and concludes at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in 2014. Featured image, “Spanish Soldiers” (circa 1903, from the collection of the Brooklyn Museum), is reproduced from the essential exhibition catalog, John Singer Sargent: Watercolors.
