The penultimate volume of the acclaimed catalogue raisonné showcases paintings of some of Sargent’s favorite places and people
After John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) determined to curtail his internationally successful portrait practice, he had more freedom to paint where and what he wanted. Volume VIII of the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné transports us to the artist’s most beloved locations, often with his friends and family. In the paintings featured here, Sargent returned to subjects that had always held deep personal connections and artistic challenges mountains, streams, rocks and torrents, figures in repose, architecture and gardens, boats and shipping. He had known and painted the Alps since childhood, and his new Alpine studies make up the greatest number of works in this book.
Beautifully designed, this volume represents a continuation in organization and presentation of the high standards that mark the series, and documents 299 works in oil and watercolor. Each painting is catalogued with full provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Wherever possible, works are illustrated in color; some are accompanied by related drawings and comparative studies by Sargent’s fellow artists. Contemporary photographs pinpoint the places and views that Sargent painted.

"This book is amazing! I smile every time I see it. The pictures, full color, are accurately cited and presented alongside a slew of information and context about each one. When possible, the authors traveled to the same locations and villas where Sargent painted/drew to photograph the views and buildings as they stand. It really helps to show the process Sargent went through when looking at light and the landscape.
On that point, this is a book that includes whatever Sargent happened to look for at the time: there’s some still life, clothed figure studies, and lots of landscape. Great collection of beautiful plein-air work and tons of research to go alongside it. It's also (literally) huge, so make sure you have a spot to store it
I included some spreads that show the various stuff in the book; research, large pieces, etc. The reproductions are all high quality; you can see subtle differences in brush strokes, colors and all that. Really happy!"

- I have all the volumes in this wonderful series and this one is fantastic, especially if you love his watercolors. Since it focuses on his travels to his favorite painting locations, it's full of variations and alternative views of scenes and models we've seen before. I'm totally in awe of his ability to capture the essence of any subject. You've seen those amazing watercolors of harbors with boats and reflections, well, guess what, there's a lot more of them you've never seen. These volumes are of the highest quality and worth every penny. The authors have done justice to his legacy and I'm so glad they did.

Really happy! - Good! I have seen at least a few of the paintings in person, and I think that the book offers good reproductions. I also have to praise the organization of the content--the authors have grouped paintings of related subject matter (i.e. marine paintings, mountain landscapes, oxen, etc.), which makes it easy to bookmark and revisit certain subjects.
- Sargent is one of the greats. Many color plates in this very nice book - one in a series on Sargent.
Disappointed with seller as I mistakenly ordered 2 and they wouldn't let me return it. - I did not realise just what a prodigous and competent art JSF was/is. To produce eight volumes on his output, [to date,] speaks volumes for his quality. I nam impressed with the ease and quality of his watercolours so have ordered this volume. Like Turner and Constable, his "workbooks" are goldmines of an ever searching mind of his environment and travelogue of his ever roving lifestyle. It is amazing that he could find so many decorously attired young beauties lying about in the countryside? I will just dream, about them, but mainly his dexterity and feeling for expressing light and form with simple fluency. A great book for any serious painter, especially in loose flowing, sun light land and sea scapes in watercolour. His portraiture is also par excellence.
- Sargent paintings...no need to say more!
- A beautiful book and good descriptions
- Lots of great images in this book, many of which are quick studies or unfinished works....which I love because those images reveal working methods of this utterly remarkable artist.
