Mr.
Sargent RA
End of an Epoch in English Art
The
Times, London
4/16/1925
The death of Mr. John S Sargent RA, which we announce with
great regret on another page, has closed an epoch in English painting.
For all his unfailing desire to learn and his constant freshness of
spirit and method, this man of genius was the last supreme figure in a
period in the history of English painting which is now past. (Go to)

I think you've featured Philip Alexius de Laszlo's Sketch of Lady Duff Gordon and her sister Elinor Glyn both beautifully. I am proud to
be associated with such an excellent source for great visuals and
history. (Go to)

Incidentally, I looked up the painting in the background to
the portrait of Peter A. B. Widener; it's now in the
National Gallery of Art in Washington and called The Satyr and the
Peasant, by Johann Liss. (Go to)

I am yet another great-grandson of Ruth Sears Bacon. The
story that appears on your website is pretty similar to the story I
heard as a child. (Go to)

I found two de Laszlo articles around the time of his life.
The first is in French, but I've made a very rough translation from
French to English: “Les Portraits de Philippe A. de
László,” by Paulin Grange, 1922 (Go to)
The Second is Hungarian, and although I can't translate it
for you, it comes with seven images of de Laszlo's paintings.

Some time ago I purchased a book entitled, "Later Years of
the Saturday Club: 1870-1920," by M. A. DeWolfe Howe, published by
Houghton Mifflin Company in 1927. There are three Sargent drawings
reproduced in the book -- one you have -- two I'm sending:
1. James Ford Rhodes (1920), p. 346.
2. Wm. Roscoe Thayer (1920), p. 394.

What a beautiful website, maybe I overlooked mention of one
of Sargent's most significant friends AND influences Antonio Mancini.
Could you shed some light on that? I will certainly tell you everything
I know. (Go to)
