Aaron Augustus Healy John Singer Sargent (American, born Italy, 1856-1925). Aaron Augustus Healy, 1907. Oil on canvas, 34 1/16 x 28 3/4 in. (86.5 x 73 cm). Two years after he sat for this portrait by Sargent, the Brooklyn Museum president A. Augustus Healy led a breathtakingly swift campaign to purchase the entire cache of Sargents watercolors from the 1909 Knoedler & Company exhibition. An astute collector, Healy already owned one of the artists most recent oil paintings, Dolce Far Niente (also on view in the exhibition). Their first contact had occurred more than a decade earlier; Sargent had brokered the Museums purchase of a Giovanni Boldini portrait of James McNeill Whistler in 1897 and the purchase of James Tissots monumental watercolor series The Life of Christ in 1900. Sargents 1909 exhibition had been open for only two days when Healy expressed his interest to Roland Knoedler in buying the group. Twenty-four hours later, Sargent agreed to Healys offer of $20,000, and th

William M. Chase, N. A. Artist: John Singer Sargent (American, Florence 1856-1925 London). Dimensions: 62 1/2 x 41 3/8in. (158.8 x 105.1cm)Framed: 79 3/4 x 59 x 6 1/2 in. (202.6 x 149.9 x 16.5 cm). Date: 1902.William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) was a leading art teacher (primarily in New York) and an admirer of Sargent's work. A group of his students commissioned this portrait, intending to give it to the Metropolitan in his honor. Painted in Sargent's London studio, it shows Chase in what he called his "old blue studio coat," which Sargent insisted he wear instead of the frock coat he preferred. Chase's working attire, palette, poised brush, and assured stance suggest his dual persona as a painter and a gentleman. (The initials in the title indicate his election to New York's National Academy of Design.) The students raised the money to pay Sargent by exhibiting the painting in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Richard Dana ca. 1770 John Singleton Copley American Richard Dana (1700-1772) was a justice of the province of Massachusetts and a leading figure of the Boston bar. During the early stages of the Revolution, the city depended on his sage legal advice. He was a member of the committee that investigated the Boston Massacre in 1770, at about the same time he posed for Copley. As a bold enhancement of the powerful portrait, Copley selected a carved-and-gilded Rococo frame. The frame is personalized with the Dana familys coat of arms: three stags separated by a chevron, with a fox at the crest and Cavendo tutus (“By caution secure”) as the motto.. Richard Dana.
