Hospital at Granada is a 1912 oil by John Singer Sargent, a American Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
This painting shows a courtyard filled with people, some sitting and others standing. The courtyard is surrounded by white walls with archways and columns. There are several paintings hanging on the walls. In the foreground, a person lies on a stretcher. The atmosphere appears to be one of quiet activity, with people engaged in various activities. The scene is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting. The overall mood is one of calmness and serenity. The painting is reminiscent of the work of John Singer Sargent, known for his realistic and detailed depictions of everyday life.
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.
