John Singer Sargent’s 1913 painting Girl Fishing at San Vigilio is a vivid and moving portrait of a young girl fishing beside Lake Garda in Northern Italy. Finished a year before the outbreak of war in Europe, the scene is an experiential reproduction of a moment of calm before all hell was unleashed. The artist, at this point reaching the final decade of his career, had a life-long fascination with the sea which began during his Atlantic voyages and journeys through the coasts of the Mediterranean in 1878. By 1913 Sargent had been consigned by his peers as both a living legend and a relic, a society portraitist who created vivid and incandescent reproductions of the ultra-rich. Yet, at sea and near water, Sargent seemed to shun the upper echelons of society life and instead found solace in earthy, familial, and serene subjects. His oil paintings of seascapes or beach scenes are towering, ambitious works, and Girl Fishing at San Vigilio is no exception.
