Madame X. She is standing, looking away from us, and wearing a long black dress.

Today, 14 April 2025, is the 100th anniversary of the death of John Singer Sargent. Here is his portrait of Madame X, painted in 1884 #blueskyart #art #painting #impressionism #otd #singersargent #favouritepaintings #favouriteartists

How about a bit of #FavouritePaintings #Art? (Quote and pass it on, etc etc.)

[Joseph] Wright of Derby, 1734-1797

'An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump' is probably his most famous... added bonus: the way he's staged and lit a science experiment as if it were a religious subject 😁
