초상화

John Singer Sargent

American painter, born

1856- died April 29 1925

미국에서 태어나고 영국에서 활동한 존 싱어 사전트는 당대 최고의 초상화가였다.

 

그가 그린 대통령의 초상화 두 점(시어도어 루스벨트, 우드로 윌슨)이

현재 백악관에 걸려 있다는 사실만 보아도 사전트가 얼마나 인기 있는 초상화가였는지 알 수 있다.

사전트는 이래저래 뛰어난 화가가 될 자질과 여건을 갖추고 있었다.

부유한 부모 덕에 어린 시절부터 이탈리아와 프랑스를 돌며 그림 수업을 받았고

평생 독신으로 살았기 때문에 그림에만 전념할 수 있었다.

그리고 결정적으로 사전트는 남들보다 훨씬 빨리 그림을 그렸다.

그가 평생 남긴 작품의 수는 2천 점이 넘는다.

여기에 더해 화려하고 관능적이면서도세밀한 화풍은 19세기 빅토리아 시대와

에드워드 시대 지식인들의 입맛에 딱 맞았다.

덕분에 사전트의 초상화 가격은 천정부지로 치솟았는데, 현재의 환율로 따지면

그에게 초상화를 받기 위한 비용은 13만 달러, 우리 돈으로 1억 원이 넘었다.

당연히 그에게 초상화를 청탁하는 이들은 귀족이나 왕족,아니면

런던의 신흥 부르주아, 지식인들이었다.
