"Staircase in Capri" is a watercolor painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, created in 1878 during his travels in Italy. The artwork depicts a sunlit stone staircase in Capri, a small island in the Bay of Naples, known for its picturesque landscapes and vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. Sargent's choice of subject reflects his keen interest in capturing the interplay of light, shadow, and texture in everyday scenes.
The painting showcases Sargent's mastery of watercolor, a medium he frequently used during his travels to document the places he visited. In "Staircase in Capri," he employs loose, fluid brushstrokes to convey the dappled sunlight filtering through the surrounding foliage and the rough texture of the stone steps. The composition is intimate and unpretentious, focusing on the natural beauty of the setting rather than grand architectural or historical elements.
Sargent was in his early twenties when he painted this work, and it is representative of his early career, during which he was heavily influenced by the plein air painting tradition. His time in Italy, including his visits to Capri, played a significant role in shaping his artistic style and sensibilities. The painting is part of a broader body of work that reflects his fascination with the Mediterranean region's light, color, and atmosphere.
"Staircase in Capri" is held in a private collection, and as such, it is not widely exhibited. However, it is recognized as an example of Sargent's ability to transform simple, everyday scenes into works of art that capture the essence of a place. The painting is often cited as an example of his skill in watercolor and his ability to evoke a sense of immediacy and intimacy in his work.
