Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas

Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas

A New York Times Book Review Editorsâ€™ Choice Selection

â€œ[Lucey] delivers the goods, disclosing the unhappy or colorful lives that Sargent sometimes hinted at but didnâ€™t spell out.â€â€”Boston Globe

In this seductive, multilayered biography, based on original letters and diaries, Donna M. Lucey illuminates four extraordinary women painted by the iconic high-society portraitist John Singer Sargent. With uncanny intuition, Sargent hinted at the mysteries and passions that unfolded in his subjectsâ€™ lives. These women inhabited a rarefied world of wealth and strict conventionsâ€”yet all of them did something unexpected, something shocking, to upend societyâ€™s rules.
