When brash, darkly handsome 27-year-old American genius John Singer Sargent accepts the challenge of painting the most beautiful woman in Paris- on his own terms- his uncompromising vision threatens to bring ruin to them both. Together they achieve immortality as the creator & subject of the unforgetable painting we now know as The Portrait of Madame X.- the icon of Belle Epoque Paris and decadent symbol of cafe society, preserved for all time by Sargent's dangerous flirtation with overwhelming beauty.
Peopled by a cast of 11 celebrities of the period- Oscar Wilde, Henry James, Sarah Bernhardt and Claude Monet, among many, JOHN SINGER SARGENT AND MADAME X deconstructs the creation of one of the most haunitng masterworks of Western art."
