Meanwhile, in the life of John Singer Sargent
The whole life1895–1919
The “Triumph of Religion” murals for the Boston Public Library
From 1895 through 1919, for almost thirty years, Sargent works on his largest-scale work, the mural decorations “Triumph of Religion” for the Boston Public Library, showing religion's progress from pagan superstition to the ascension of Christianity; he never completes the final mural of the cycle.

Summer journeys with the de Glehns
Between 1905 and 1914 Sargent's frequent travelling companions are the married artist couple Wilfrid de Glehn and Jane Emmet de Glehn; the trio often spend summers in France, Spain or Italy, and all three depict one another in their paintings.
1906–1913
Summers in the Swiss Alps with his sisters and nieces
Sargent makes several summer visits to the Swiss Alps with his sisters Emily and Violet and Violet's daughters Rose-Marie and Reine, who are the subject of a number of paintings between 1906 and 1913, such as “The Black Brook” (1908).
