"This extravagantly illustrated catalogue - published in association with a major transatlantic exhibition - evokes the romantic fascination with Italy that shines in the work of John Singer Sargent. Both beautiful and informative, this volume includes eighty-five color and fifty black-and-white images. It adds a new dimension to our appreciation of Sargent's art and will delight anyone who loves Italy, as Sargent so passionately did."--BOOK JACKET.
