In 1916, the MFA's trustees invited John Singer Sargent to decorate the Rotunda, the hub of the Museum. Sargent not only provided a series of paintings and sculptures, but also reconfigured the space, uniting architecture, painting, and sculpture into a harmony suggestive of the Museum's collections themselves.
