Hospital at Granada (John Singer Sargent)

Striking travel snapshot, “Hospital at Granada” shows Sargent’s talent for capturing the atmosphere of a place with a few strokes. The scene takes place under the arcades of a sunny courtyard, where sick people rest on makeshift beds. The contrast between the dazzling light on the ground and the cool shadow of the galleries is striking. It is a humanistic work documenting the social reality of Spain at the time, while remaining a superb study of light and architecture. The tones of stone, white, and earth create a soothing visual harmony despite the subject. A piece for collectors of narrative works.
