JOHN SINGER SARGENT (1856-1925)

 
<div><font face=Lato size=3>Painted during John Singer Sargent's trip to the Austrian Tyrol in the summer of 1914, this work captures a moment of profound historical tension as Austria declared war on Serbia that July, placing Sargent at the threshold of the First World War. The painting offers a strikingly intimate and unexpected view of the Alpine landscape, framed from within a sheep pen with the mountain itself largely cropped from sight.

Peinte pendant le voyage de John Singer Sargent dans le Tyrol autrichien à l'été 1914, cette œuvre capture un moment de profonde tension historique, alors que l'Autriche déclarait la guerre à la Serbie en juillet, plaçant Sargent au seuil de la Première Guerre mondiale. Le tableau offre une vue étonnamment intime et inattendue du paysage alpin, cadrée depuis l'intérieur d'une bergerie, la montagne elle-même étant en grande partie coupée de la vue. Ce choix de point de vue déplace l'attention du spectateur vers le point de rencontre entre la vallée et la pente ascendante, où des verts profonds ancrent la composition et où un ciel couvert suggère un subtil sentiment de malaise au-delà du premier plan pastoral tranquille.


 


L'œuvre figure dans le catalogue raisonné de Sargent réalisé par Richard Ormond et Elaine Kilmurray, ce qui confirme sa place incontestable dans la production documentée de l'artiste. Sargent a créé plusieurs œuvres connexes pendant son séjour au Tyrol en 1914, tant à l'huile qu'à l'aquarelle, notamment Tyrolese Interior au Metropolitan Museum of Art, Woodsheds Tyrol à l'Art Institute of Chicago et Trout Stream in the Tyrol au de Young Museum. Ensemble, ces œuvres témoignent de l'intérêt soutenu de Sargent pour cette région et sa lumière, son atmosphère et son architecture rurale caractéristiques au cours de cette année charnière.





Ce tableau a également une provenance prestigieuse, puisqu'il a appartenu à la collection de Henry Clay Frick, industriel américain et fondateur de la Frick Collection, avant d'être offert à son ami et avocat Louis Cass Ledyard, qui était également conseiller juridique de J. P. Morgan. Sa rareté parmi les sujets tyroliens de Sargent à maturité est encore soulignée par le petit nombre d'œuvres comparables qui ont atteint le marché, avec un seul tableau étroitement lié à cette période, A Tyrolese Crucifix de 1915, ayant été mis aux enchères au cours des dernières décennies.


 


L'œuvre de Sargent continue de bénéficier d'une reconnaissance institutionnelle majeure, notamment avec la prochaine exposition Sargent Dazzling Paris au musée d'Orsay en 2025-2026, qui réaffirme la pertinence actuelle de ses paysages européens de maturité dans le contexte plus large de l'art du début du XXe siècle.
