Bay of Uri, Brunnen (1870) by John Singer Sargent Size:30x40 cm / 12x16″ satirical pieceJohn Singer Sargents Bay of Uri, Brunnen is an early glimpse of an artist already chasing light. The Met records it as a June 4, 1870 sketchbook work in watercolour, gouache and graphite, made when Sargent was still a teenager. It shows Lake Lucernes Bay of Uri near Brunnen, with mountains rising in soft blue grey washes. Before the society portraits and private figure studies, there is this: freedom, travel and beauty refusing to stay still.
