Details

Capri is one of John Singer Sargent’s earliest masterpieces, the radical composition and technical brilliance of the work a triumphant display of the young artist’s mastery over light. Painted in the autumn of 1878 while Sargent spent several weeks on the Italian island of Capri, the painting depicts Rosina Ferrara, Sargent’s Capresi muse, dynamically extended upon a whitewashed rooftop as she dances the tarantella to the tempo of her female companion’s tambourine. Sargent imbues the work with a veristic drama, executing each brushstroke with fluency, funneling the coloristic innovations of the Impressionists into a modern picture of a modern subject.
