Sargent was born in Florence, Italy, in 1856 to American parents. His parents were expatriates who left the U.S. after the death of their first child.
• Education: He rarely attended formal school. Instead, his family traveled incessantly across Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland), visiting museums and historical sites. He grew up speaking four languages and playing the piano at a professional level.
• Artistic Roots: Recognizing his talent, his mother encouraged his sketching. In 1874, the family moved to Paris so John could study art formally.
