{"product_id":"9781681687285","title":"Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith unprecedented access to newly discovered sources, Donna M. Lucey illuminates the lives of four extraordinary women painted by the iconic high-society portraitist John Singer Sargent. With uncanny clairvoyance, Sargent's portraits hint at the mysteries, passions, and tragedies that unfolded in his subjects' lives. Sequestered in a fantasy-land castle in the remote Rocky Mountains, Elsie Palmer carried on a labyrinthine love life; Elizabeth Chanler stepped into a maze of infidelity with her best friend's husband; as the veiled image of Sally Fairchild—beautiful, commanding, and poison-tongued—emerged on Sargent's canvas, the power of his artistry lured her sister Lucia into an ill-fated life in art; shrewd, iron-willed Isabella Stewart Gardner collected both art and young men. Born to unimaginable wealth, these women lived on an operatic scale, and their letters and diaries create a rich depiction of the Gilded Age and the acclaimed but secretive painter whose canvases defined the era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038637867248,"sku":"9781681687285","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681687285_p0.jpg?v=1763695044","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681687285","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
