Speed Art Museum in Louisville, KY 18" x ? Oil on canvas 18" x ? Museum purchase 1960.5 From: Speed Art Museum According to an account published in 1925, Sargent bribed an official to gain access to Hagia Sophia. He made this sketch in the early morning, just as warm, golden light began to fill the space. Although he worked rapidly, Sargent still was able to capture perfectly the grandeur and mystery of the building’s expansive interior. (Speed Art Museum) More paintings see:
