Artist Research: Choosing an Artist

October 15, 2013.  10:15 to 10:25 PM.

To start out my search for an artist to research, I picked John Singer Sargent, because I've seen a lot of his work on Tumblr and more recently at the Museum of Fine Arts, and I think he's just fabulous.

Upon Googling his name, I found his biography on the Metropolitan Museum of Art website.  It turns out Sargent was encouraged by his teacher to draw influence from a number of painters including Diego Velazquez. 


Velazquez himself once copied the paintings of Titian.


So there you go.  I'm going to research Titian!
