American biographer, Jean Strouse, author of Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers, captures the dramas, mysteries, intrigues, and tragedies surrounding John Singer Sargent's portraits of the Wertheimer family. Strouse will be looking at twelve portraits of one English family painted by the expatriate American artist (Sargent) at the height of his career—and at the intersections of all these lives with the sparkle and strife of the Edwardian age. The author will be joined in conversation with Ben Colman, DIA Associate Curator for American Art.

Following the presentation, please join a DIA docent-led tour of works by John Singer Sargent.
