From Dr. Pozzi at Home (1881), a flamboyant portrait of a Parisian surgeon and gynecologist (and renowned seducer and art lover) depicted standing in a long crimson dressing gown at the Hammer Museum (University of California, Los Angeles), to El Jaleo (1882), a spectacular nighttime scene of a Romani dance, at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. These four masterpieces share a common thread: All are early works by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) and were painted in Paris.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph  \">In France, however, the American painter is almost unknown. In fact, the current exhibition at the Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Orsay is the first ever dedicated to him in the country and, internationally, the first to focus on his Paris years, offering a pivotal addition to research on the artist.
