John Singer Sargent. Portrait of Carolus Duran, 1879.  “Carolus Duran was John Singer Sargent’s teacher and would have a profound impact on him. When Sargent went to Paris in May of 1874, it was with the goal of gaining entrance of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. To achieve this, however, the family knew he needed to study at one of the independent ateliers and in a matter of only ten days they had searched, interviewed, and then finally were accepted by Carolus Duran. In truth, it wouldn’t be the Ecole, but Carolus-Duran who would have the most impact on the young artist. ” (via rompedas)
