Considéré comme l’un·e des plus grand·e·s portraitistes de son époque, John Singer Sargent marquait les esprits avec ses œuvres, mêlant subtilement l’art du portrait à la mode de son temps. Ce film révèle comment Sargent capturait l’élégance, la personnalité et les codes vestimentaires de ses modèles pour en faire des témoignages uniques de leur époque. Tourné au Museum of Fine Arts de Boston et à la Tate Britain de Londres, ce film plonge le·la spectateur·rice au cœur de l’atelier de Sargent. On y découvre une sélection de peintures, accompagnées d’objets d’époque – vêtements et accessoires portés par ses modèles. Ces éléments révèlent comment l’artiste capturait les identités de genre et les personnalités distinctes de ses sujets dans une époque de réinvention culturelle. Un hommage visuel qui nous invite à redécouvrir l’œuvre d’un maître à travers une perspective unique, mêlant art et mode.
