The Archers, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)
Oil on canvas, English School, 1915. John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was born in Italy to American parents. He studied at the Florence Academy and in 1874 began studies in Paris, showing there at the Salon from 1878. The following year he visited Spain where he was greatly taken with the work of Velasquez. In 1886 he settled in London where he soon gained a reputation as a fashionable society painter and it was in this capacity that he amassed enough of a personal fortune to concentrate on subjects of his own choosing. During the early 1890s Sargent was commissioned to paint a vast series of murals for the ceiling of the Boston Public Library and Museum in America. It would appear that The Archers was produced as a precursor to that commission as several of the figures in the mural bear a striking resemblance to those in the painting. The Royal Cornwall Museum is also lucky enough to own the preparatory sketches for the painting. Sargent showed work regularly at the Royal Academy throughout the 1890s, becoming an Academician in 1897. He was an official war artist during the First World War, producing many memorable works

EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Singer Sargent is a captivating oil on canvas painting that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and versatility. Created in 1915, this masterpiece belongs to the English School and reflects Sargent's profound artistic journey. Born in Italy to American parents, Sargent honed his skills at the prestigious Florence Academy before immersing himself in the vibrant art scene of Paris. Inspired by Spanish painter Velasquez during a visit to Spain, he developed his own unique style that would later captivate audiences worldwide. Settling in London in 1886, Sargent gained recognition as a fashionable society painter, allowing him to pursue subjects close to his heart. "The Archers" was likely created as a precursor to his monumental mural series for the Boston Public Library and Museum. Interestingly, several figures from this painting bear striking resemblance to those featured in the murals. The Royal Cornwall Museum is fortunate enough not only to possess this remarkable print but also owns preparatory sketches for it. This adds depth and insight into Sargent's creative process, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail. Sargent's talent extended beyond portraiture and societal scenes; he served as an official war artist during World War I, producing poignant works that captured the essence of those tumultuous times. "The Archers" stands as a testament to John Singer Sargent's mastery of composition, technique, and storytelling through art. It continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and serves as a reminder of one man's extraordinary contribution to the world of fine arts.
