World War II in this two-part virtual course inspired by the current
exhibition The Sassoons.
Then in the second session, take an in-depth look at the family’s
relationship with artist John Singer Sargent, and his portraits of
Jewish patrons as explored in the past exhibition John Singer Sargent's Mrs. Carl Meyer and Her Children (2017).
