Which painting was painted when the artist was thirteen
years old?
#5, Seascape at Rimini, John Singer Sargent, 1869
"Among the earliest works by Sargent is a remarkable
sketchbook that records the family's travels in summer 1869, when they toured
southern Italy and then went north to the Alps. His drawings, often inscribed
with location and date, reflect the seriousness with which the talented
thirteen-year-old Sargent chronicled the journey. These prodigious records of
travel helped convince his parents to endorse his choice of career.
In October 1870 John Singer Sargent's father, Fitzwilliam,
wrote to his mother, John's grandmother, 'My boy John seems to have a strong
desire to be an Artist by profession, a painter, he shows so much evidence of
talent in that direction, and takes so much pleasure in cultivating it, that we
have concluded to gratify him and to keep that plan in view in his studies.'"
