Download or read book American Colonial Painting written by Waldron Phoenix Belknap and published by Belknap Press. This book was released on 1959 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was Waldron Phoenix Belknap who first discovered that in a large proportion of early Colonial portraits the compositions had been copied in whole or in part from mezzotints published in London. The tragic and untimely death in 1949 of the founder of The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press cut short a study of the foundations of American painting upon which he had been actively engaged, but the present volume brings together its author's contributions to art history. Prepared for publication by the staff of the Waldron Phoenix Belknap, Jr., Research Library of American Painting, at the Henry Francis duPont Winterthur Museum, the book is divided into seven parts: The Identity of Robert Feke; Problems in Identification, De Peyster Portraits; New York Painters and Patrons: The Genealogical Approach; Painters and Craftsmen; Notes on Colonial Portraits; The Discoveries of Waldron Phoenix Belknap, Jr., concerning the Influence of the English Mezzotint on Colonial Painting; New York Portraits. The many hundreds of names included in the work are brought together in an analytical index. Two hundred and eighty-four Colonial portraits and British mezzotints are illustrated in half-tone plates. There is a four-color frontispiece.

Download or read book Pictured Politics written by Emily Engel and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish colonial period in South America saw artists develop the subgenre of official portraiture, or portraits of key individuals in the continent’s viceregal governments. Although these portraits appeared to illustrate a narrative of imperial splendor and absolutist governance, they instead became a visual record of the local history that emerged during the colonial occupation. Using the official portrait collections accumulated between 1542 and 1830 in Lima, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá as a lens, Pictured Politics explores how official portraiture originated and evolved to become an essential component in the construction of Ibero-American political relationships. Through the surviving portraits and archival evidence—including political treatises, travel accounts, and early periodicals—Emily Engel demonstrates that these official portraits not only belie a singular interpretation as tools of imperial domination but also visualize the continent's multilayered history of colonial occupation. The first stand alone analysis of South American portraiture, Pictured Politics brings to light the historical relevance of political portraits in crafting the history of South American colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume presents the complex ways in which the lives of artists, clients, and sitters were interconnected in the early American South. During this period, paintings included not only portraits, but also seascapes, landscapes, and pictures made by explorers and naturalists. The first comprehensive study of this subject, Painters and Paintings in the Early American South draws upon materials including diaries, correspondence, and newspapers in order to explore the stylistic trends of the period and the lives of the sitters, as gentility spread from the wealthiest southerners to the middle class. Featuring works by John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, and Benjamin West, among many others, this important book examines the training and status of painters, the distinction between fine art and the mechanical arts, the popularity of portraiture, and the nature of clientele between 1540 and 1790, providing a new, critical understanding of the history of art in the American South.

Download or read book American Faces written by Richard H. Saunders and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraits. We know what they are, but why do we make them? Americans have been celebrating themselves in portraits since the arrival of the first itinerant portrait painters to the colonies. They created images to commemorate loved ones, glorify the famous, establish our national myths, and honor our shared heroes. Whether painting in oil, carving in stone, casting in bronze, capturing on film, or calculating in binary code, we spend considerable time creating, contemplating, and collecting our likenesses. In this sumptuously illustrated book, Richard H. Saunders explores our collective understanding of portraiture, its history in America, how it shapes our individual and national identity, and why we make portraits - whether for propaganda and public influence or for personal and private appreciation. American Faces is a rich and fascinating view of ourselves.

Book excerpt: Book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1919. Excerpt: ... Thomas, second Baron Colepeper, of Thoresway, son of the first baron by his wife and cousin, Judith, daughter of Sir Thomas Colepeper, was baptized, 21 March, 1634/5, at Hollingbourne, in Kent. He married Margaret, daughter of Jan van Hesse, Heer van Piershill, in Zealand, who died 10 May, 1710, at Leeds Castle, Kent, aged seventyfive. Lord Colepeper died 27 January, 1688/9, leaving a daughter, Catherine, wife of Thomas, fifth Baron Fairfax, of Cameron. Before his appointment as governor of Virginia, Colepeper had served as governor of the Isle of Wight, 16601667. He came over in 1680, and at once put his fertile imagination to work to devise schemes for enriching himself at the expense of the soldiers, the farmers, and the merchants. He bought pieces of eight--since immortalized by Silver's parrot--and forced their use at a fictitious valuation. When he found that the experiment was not profitable, he withdrew them from circulation. He soon returned to England without leave; was in Virginia again in 1682, to claim lands on the northern neck; and in May, 1683, departed forever, leaving large estates on the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers. His long-delayed arrival and hasty departure must have been a sore trial to his beautiful kinswoman, Lady Berkeley, wife of the former governor. For many months she had exercised her faculty for intrigue and subtle revenge, counting upon Lord Colepeper's arrival and assumption of office to protect herself and her little cabinet of admirers. He had been in the colony long enough, however, to stop the only printing press there, and his successor, Lord Howard, upheld the same policy. During Colepeper's administration over-production of tobacco, whenever the price rose, and unwillingness of the planters to engage in other industries, brought about econ...
