Year In Context

Sargent's star is rising fast. 

In March, Sargent places 2nd in the concours of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. His father writes that not only was it "the first time that any pupil of Carolus-Duran's Atelier had been rated so high" [but it was also] ". . .  the first time that any American Art Student in Paris had ever been so ranked" (Dr. Sargent's letter to Bemis quoted in Olson P.50)

In May he submits Miss Fanny Watts to the Paris Salon for the first time and the painting is accepted -- another honor. The Salon was, by far, the largest exhibition of art and was THE place to get known for an artist. He would exhibit at the Salon every year through 1885. 

He paints Carolus- Duran's portrait (n/a).

In the summer he visits Cancale, and Brittany. He had been there with his family a number of summers before and he looks for a scene for his next Salon painting. Oyster Gatherers of Cancale would be that painting and does a number of studies.

August-September he takes a walking tour of Switzerland with Beckwith, then joins his family at Bex, Switzerland. 

In the fall he attends Carolus's atelier. 

With Beckwith, he assists Carolus-Duran on his decoration for the Palais du Luxembourg, The triumph of Maria de Medici a public mural.
