Not on viewWeb CommentaryJohn Singer Sargent was the first artist-in-residence at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. During the month of April 1903 he slept in a guest room (now called the Macknight Room) and created new works of art in his temporary studio, the Gothic Room. John Templeman Coolidge, an artist and friend of Isabella’s, took several photographs of Sargent painting in the Gothic Room. One of these candid pictures shows the artist Cecilia Beaux admiring Sargent’s portrait of the composer Charles Martin Loeffler resting on the floor of the Gothic Room. It now hangs in the Yellow Room.
