After spending the early part of the summer of 1907 at Purtud in the Alps with Sargent, Wilfrid and Jane embarked on a whirlwind tour south through Italy before rejoining him in Frascati in late September. It was not Wilfrid’s first time in Italy—we know from an early article in Magazine of Art that he had spent a protracted period in the country studying the great art treasures while he was still a student in Paris. But it was the first time he could share these pleasures with his new wife. Their route down from the Alps to Florence, Perugia, Assisi and Rome was a perfect taster of the artistic delights of the country and they would revisit them on a number of occasions prior to the First World War.
