EDITORS COMMENTS
This charcoal and stump sketch by John Singer Sargent, titled "Olimpio Fusco" transports us back to the early 20th century. The artist's masterful technique brings out the depth and character of his subject, Olimpio Fusco. With every stroke of charcoal on paper, Sargent captures the essence of this intriguing individual. Fusco's face is the focal point of this portrait, revealing a sense of mystery and contemplation. His strong features are accentuated by the skilled use of shadows and highlights, creating a striking contrast that adds dimension to his visage. It is as if we can almost hear his thoughts through his intense gaze. The composition draws us in closer with its intimate framing, allowing us to study every detail meticulously rendered by Sargent's hand. This print measures 62.2x47.3 cm, making it an impressive piece that demands attention when displayed. Housed in the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork was generously gifted by Miss Emily Sargent and Mrs. Francis Ormond - sisters of the artist himself. Its presence within these esteemed walls further solidifies its significance within American art history. As we admire this timeless portrayal captured over a century ago, we cannot help but be captivated by Olimpio Fusco's enigmatic expression and wonder about his story – forever preserved through Sargent's artistic prowess.
