"Sargent and the Sea," a new exhibition of his works at London's Royal Academy, seeks to unveil a different side to the artist that curators believe has been overlooked for too long.

The show, which runs until September 26, examines the artist's experience as a marine painter and gathers more than 70 paintings, drawings and watercolors produced mainly during his travels around Europe as a young man.
