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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavish, illustrated volume published to accompany an exhibition of Copley's work that will be traveling to several cities during 1996. The focus is on the paintings, miniatures, and pastels that Copley, the supreme portraitist of the colonial era, produced before he moved to London in 1774. Four principal essays place the work in historical and social context and bring new critical methods to bear upon the study of portraits and portraiture; four shorter essays treat various aspects of Copley's art and techniques. Catalog entries detail the sitters' lives and the ways in which Copley enhanced his subjects' status and presence. 10x12.25" Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

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...

Download or read book Portraits of Resistance written by Jennifer Van Horn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original history of American portraiture that places the experiences of enslaved people at its center This timely and eloquent book tells a new history of American art: how enslaved people mobilized portraiture for acts of defiance. Revisiting the origins of portrait painting in the United States, Jennifer Van Horn reveals how mythologies of whiteness and of nation building erased the aesthetic production of enslaved Americans of African descent and obscured the portrait's importance as a site of resistance. Moving from the wharves of colonial Rhode Island to antebellum Louisiana plantations to South Carolina townhouses during the Civil War, the book illuminates how enslaved people's relationships with portraits also shaped the trajectory of African American art post-emancipation. Van Horn asserts that Black creativity, subjecthood, viewership, and iconoclasm constituted instances of everyday rebellion against systemic oppression. Portraits of Resistance is not only a significant intervention in the fields of American art and history but also an important contribution to the reexamination of racial constructs on which American culture was built.
