Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portrait of Washington Lawrence Lewis, the oldest Nephew of Washington, who most resembled him and was most with him, earnestly said to Major Wm. Jackson, on seeing this Portrait in the Artist's Painting Room, that It was the only Portrait of his uncle he would wish to look at a second time, but on this he could gaze continually! When Chief Justice Marshall, first saw it at the Capitol, he exclaimed, It seems as if I were looking at the living man l and recom mended the Artist to procure, in regard to this Portrait, the written testimonies of those who were intimate with Washington - himself commencing the example. This was accordingly done, to a limited extent, not as a Certificate, as has erroneously been asserted, but in letters, expres sive of the judgments they had already pronounced in public, and published during their lifetime. Every one who personally knew Washington will claim the privilege, and will exercise the right of judging for himself; but all others will rely on the decision made by his Relatives, Friends, and Cotemporaries; nor can they reasonably withhold conviction from such force of evidence given by their own impulse, and each in his own peculiar language. It is singular in the history of this Picture, and perhaps worthy of being recorded, that it was scarcely finished, when, from the reports of Judges Peters and Tilghman, during five days that the Artist's Room was open, no less than three thousand persons, without invitation or any public notice, crowded to see it - People who knew the Original in the Army, in Congress, in Church, or in business for him - Their universal approbation surprised and could not but gratify the Artist.

Download or read book Of Arms and Artists written by Paul Staiti and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vibrant and original perspective on the American Revolution through the stories of the five great artists whose paintings animated the new American republic. The images accompanying the founding of the United States--of honored Founders, dramatic battle scenes, and seminal moments--gave visual shape to Revolutionary events and symbolized an entirely new concept of leadership and government. Since then they have endured as indispensable icons, serving as historical documents and timeless reminders of the nation's unprecedented beginnings. As Paul Staiti reveals in Of Arms and Artists, the lives of the five great American artists of the Revolutionary period--Charles Willson Peale, John Singleton Copley, John Trumbull, Benjamin West, and Gilbert Stuart--were every bit as eventful as those of the Founders with whom they continually interacted, and their works contributed mightily to America's founding spirit. Living in a time of breathtaking change, each in his own way came to grips with the history they were living through by turning to brushes and canvases, the results often eliciting awe and praise, and sometimes scorn. Their imagery has connected Americans to 1776, allowing us to interpret and reinterpret the nation's beginning generation after generation. The collective stories of these five artists open a fresh window on the Revolutionary era, making more human the figures we have long honored as our Founders, and deepening our understanding of the whirlwind out of which the United States emerged.
