In "Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers," Jean Strouse explores the intricate relationship between the expatriate American artist and the influential English family he depicted in twelve striking portraits during the Edwardian era. Focusing on Asher Wertheimer, Sargent's prominent patron, the narrative delves into the family's connections with the elite of London society and the evolving dynamics of power and wealth. The account not only highlights Sargent's artistic legacy but also provides a lens on the shifting social landscape of the time, from the decline of the British aristocracy to the burgeoning modern art market.
