A century after his passing, John Singer Sargent—celebrated for his portraits of French, English, and American high society during the Belle Époque—remains an enigma. Beneath a façade of carefully maintained respectability, his work nonetheless shocked his contemporaries with its sensuality and candor. Idolized by a wealthy elite eager to pay a fortune to sit for him, another side of his oeuvre reveals his fascination with Bedouins, Spanish dancers, and Venetian gondoliers.

Attached more than anything else to his region, the artist has been working and living for over 40 years in the heights of Nice, in Saint-Pancrace, in a house where each room can become a studio, and where the progressive lack of space has led him to create an extension, the doors of which he is now opening to us.
