1917 (61 years old)
Year In Context

February: he goes to Florida and paints John D. Rockefeller at his winter home on Ormond Beach. While he is there he paints Palmettos and Muddy Alligators.

March: he visits Charles Deering at Brickell Point, Miami; and then to the Villa Vizcaya (James Deering's neo-Renaissance mansion) where he paints watercolors of archetecture and the gardens. He writes to his cousin Mary Newbold Patterson Hale: "It is very hard to leave this place. There is so much to paint, not here, but at my host's brother's villa. It combines Venice and Frascati and Aranjuez, and all that one is likely never to see again. Hence this linger-longering."

(See James Deering's Villa Vizcaya)

April, 6th: the United States enters the war and sometime during this month Sargent takes a fishing trip from Miami.

May: he travels to Philadelphia and Boston where he visits the artist Charles Hopkinson, then to Pocantico Hills, New York and paints a second portrait of Rockefeller (n/a).

October: he paints a portrait of President Woodrow Wilson (n/a) for the benefit of the Red Cross.

There is an comparative exhibition of Sargent's and Winslow Homer's watercolors held at the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh.

The Worcester Art Museum acquires eleven of Sargent's watercolors.
