Sargent - Dazzling Paris

John Singer Sargent was the most famous American artist of his generation and certainly one of the greatest painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Revered in the United States, he is also famous in the United Kingdom, where he spent most of his career. In France, however, his name and work remain largely unknown, a situation that the exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay hopes to change.

No monographic exhibition has previously been devoted to John Singer Sargent in France. Yet it was in France that the young painter received his training, developing his style and network of artists. Designed in partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, “Sargent – Dazzling Paris” aims to introduce the painter to a wide audience. The exhibition brings together over 90 of John Singer Sargent’s works, including some that have never been exhibited in France.

The exhibition runs from September 23, 2025 – January 11, 2026 at the Musee D’Orsay, Esplanade Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, 75007 Paris.
