'''John Singer Sargent''' (Florence, [[Italy]], 1856 - [[London]], UK, 1925) was an American [[painter]], a successful [[Portraits|portrait]] painter. ''Sargent studied in Italy and Germany, and then in [[Paris]] under Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran.'' [http://www.johnsingersargent.org/]
From his Parisian period ''Madame X'' (or Madame Pierre Gautreau) is his most famous work. This painting created a scandal at the 1884 Salon at Paris, and Sargent moved permanently to London. From 1907, he painted only murals and landscapes.
