El Jaleo
''El Jaleo'' is a large painting by John Singer Sargent, depicting a Spanish Gypsy dancer performing to the accompaniment of musicians. Painted in 1882, it currently hangs in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
==Background==
The painting was inspired by a five-month trip Sargent made through Spain and North Africa in 1879, which also yielded a smaller oil painting, ''The Spanish Dance'' (Hispanic Society of America). Chronologically and thematically, the painting is related to a series of works Sargent painted during a subsequent stay in Venice; these, too, include dramatic light effects, exotic models, and restrained coloring.〔Kilmurray, Ormond, p. 26〕 Impressed by the costumes and theatrical manner of Gypsy dance, the artist returned to Paris and began work on a large canvas whose scale suggested a performing stage.〔Chong, et al, p. 159〕 The name ''El Jaleo'' refers to both the broad meaning of ''jaleo'', a ruckus, as well as the specific dance known as ''jaleo de jerez''.〔〔Prettejohn, p. 18〕
Sargent planned the composition of ''El Jaleo'' for at least a year.〔 The painting was preceded by a series of preliminary studies, focusing particularly on the dancer's stylized posture. The result of thorough preparation, ''El Jaleo'' is characterized by an assured and rapid handling, and may have been completed in no more than a few days.〔
