Public Library Sargent Mural Project By the Boston Mural Crew News |

The teens of the Boston Mural Crew have hung two dozen larger-than-life paintings inspired by the Boston Public Library’s famed John Singer Sargent murals as they bring their work out of the studio and onto the streets. The murals in Sargent’s Triumph of Religion series on the 3rd floor of the BPL’s McKim Building are currently undergoing a conservation effort to restore them to the brilliance and detail they had when they were painted a century ago. Inspired by the conservation project, 13 artists from Boston high schools reproduced sections of the BPL murals in dramatic close-up. Using detailed photographs of the murals, the thirteen young artists began work on the 5’ by 9’ canvasses in September. The teen-created paintings will decorate the library’s Boylston Street façade for the Boston Public Library Foundation’s annual Spring Gala to celebrate the restoration of the National Historic Landmark building in Copley Square.
