Sargent and Paris at the Met Sargent and Paris (running April 27, 2025 through August 3, 2025) covers the early period of American painter John Singer Sargent's career, from 1874 to the mid 1880s, while Sargent was living in and traveling throughout Europe. He arrived in Paris as a young art student and soon immersed himself in a cosmopolitan circle of artists, writers, and patrons, achieving acclaim and awards through French exhibitions. This exhibition assembles Sargent’s diverse works that were inspired by subjects in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and North Africa, and culminated with his infamous portrait Madame X . Walking Tour
