He is backlit by the sun, holding up the heavens with all his might.
In Sargent’s depiction of this classical scene, Atlas’s muscular, weightless form is standing between two pillars. We have a feeling that one wrong move or decision, could potentially make the world crumble down around us. This painting exudes the anxious feelings we have of letting others down and our drive to continue our plight, despite the destruction our behavior may cause us. This tale has filled pages of books and been the subject for many movies. Of the 20 twenty paintings in the atrium, the one that stands out the most, is the story of Atlas. (Example of one of Sargent’s most famous portraits and his Edwardian Style. Highlighting these Classical Greek Heroes proved to be his most ambitious work. In his later years, Sargent had turned his energy away from the famous Edwardian portraits (figure 2) he was known for and went back to the classical styles he had learned.
In 1907, The Boston Museum of Fine Art commissioned John Singer Sargent to paint 20 paintings and 18 bass-reliefs in its main atrium. What if we dropped the ball?

Yes, endurance is a characteristic of great strength, but there is a balance, and, suffering is not a superpower. We look at people like they are superheroes, for their stamina.

So often, we are captivated by stories of people with great endurance.
