Sargent's Diva Portrait | Tate
Published on Tue, Apr 23rd 2024 Education Rectangular HD
After watching Ellen Terry play the role of Lady Macbeth in 1888, artist John Singer Sargent knew he had to paint her. But his dramatic portrait, with Terry holding the crown above her head, depicts a scene that didn't actually occur in Irving's production. Nevertheless, Sargent's painting established Terry as a true Victorian 'diva'.
This is an extract from Exhibition on Screen's film John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger. Filmed at both the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tate Britain, the documentary explores how Sargent used fashion as a powerful tool to express identity and personality.
The exhibition Sargent and Fashion is at Tate Britain until 7 July: https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/sargent-and-fashion
