American Troops Going up the Line is a 1918 oil by John Singer Sargent, a American Impressionism work, held at Nationalmuseum.
The painting shows a group of soldiers in a line, wearing hats and carrying bags. They are standing on a platform or a train track, with a dark and smoky background. The soldiers are all facing the same direction, and they seem to be waiting for something. The painting is done in muted colors, with a focus on browns and grays. This painting is a great example of John Singer Sargent's work, and it's a good starting point for exploring his art.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
