Portrait Of William Pitt The Younger Painted By George Richmond

Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of George Washington is called the “Lansdowne” painted in the 1800, it is located in the American Wing; room Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang Galleries of Eighteen–century American Art. It is an oil canvas painting displayed upright against the wall near the corridor, dimension are 48 x 37 in. This painting was lent to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stienhardt in 2008. Alongside the George Washington portrait there are other portraits by Gilbert Stuart’s, such as “Matilda Stoughton de Jaudenes” and “Jaudenes y Nebot.” From a curator’s point of view, I felt like the artwork around the “George Washington” portrait was ideal because they all represented people in politics. The painting “Matilda Stoughton de Jaudenes”

The following extract is from General Sir Ian Hamilton’s despatch , dated December 11th, 1915:

There is a painting of George in my house and in all of my relative’s houses. I am grateful that my grandfather has made the effort to document my family’s history, without that effort I would not have known about

Painted from 1770-1773 The Peale Family consisted of nine of the Peale family members and their “faithful nurse” (Strickland 72). Willson himself is in the back left holding a palette and painting on an easel that says “Concordia Animae,” which means, harmony of souls. The unique composition of The Peale Family shows “the essential unity of the group” (Strickland 72). Connected by the hand and shoulder contact, the people in this painting seem to overlap, showing the concept of E Pluribus Unum. Popular in the 1800’s to the early 1900’s the style of conversation was used in this painting (Strickland 72). The clearness, crispness and realism represented in The Peale Family, demonstrated the classical nature of Peale’s work. Although some of his other works contain a more heroic and classical theme, they still convey the same styles. Being the first to paint a portrait of George Washington, and also painting portraits of 40 different officers from Valley Forge, Peale was known to have painted very “outstanding American leaders” (Encyclopedia of World Biography). As he painted in his classical style, Willson Peale established a name for himself that would be remembered for centuries.

The 1822 Muster held on the 15th of August has William and all six children living with him. He's a constable residing on Castlereagh Street, Sydney. His wife, Elizabeth, is recorded under her maiden name of Carter. The record reflects she is married to William and living in Sydney.12

Whitfield had multitudes that were enormous, he was admired and respected by many. He was soon making changes on the manners of people at the colonies, with his sermons he attracted passionate crowds who reacted to the messages he delivered during his wandering preaching about the merciful qualities of god. The atmosphere was changing from people being thoughtless about religion, to as if the world was growing religious, people were walking through the town all you could hear them singing psalms everywhere you went. Whitfield started building a house for any preacher who went to Philadelphia so they could use it for religious

The woman painted is sitting in what seems to be a domestic setting. However, unlike many other painted black women in the Enlightenment, she is seated alone. She is not depicted serving a white woman or doing any labour. The white cloths wrapped around her head and body along with the light background creates a dramatic contrast between the light colours and her dark skin. Her breast is exposed, but she is not sexualized like in many paintings of white women of the period. Despite her less-than-modest exposure, the woman does not show any signs of embarrassment. She is not blushing and her gaze is fixed on the viewer in neither a demure nor passionate way. In fact, she seems nonchalant about her exposure.

William Pitt: British general; also known as the "Great Commoner" and "Organizer of Victory"; switched British focus in war from West Indies to Quebec-Montreal area; led 1758 expedition against Louisbourg (first significant British victory); appointed James Wolfe for Quebec expedition, 1759; led to fall of Montreal in 1760 (no more French left in Canada

William Pitt's leadership played a vital role in securing a British victory in the French and Indian War. By 1757, he became a foremost leader in the London government. William was mostly known as the "Great Commoner." William started out his leadership career by picking young and energetic leaders to help spark a life in the military. He wanted to have fresh young minds controlling the military. If any leadership wants to succeed, you have to have a strong military. One of William's first military expeditions were soft-pedaling assaults on the French west Indies. He also wanted to concentrate on the vitals of Canada. This lead to instant success. Later in 1758, he dispatched a powerful expedition against Louisbourg, causing it to fall. The

This art study will define the important role that Thomas Sully (1783-1872) had in painting portraits for American presidential elites in the 19th century. During early part of the 19th century, Sully was known as the premier portrait painter of John Quincy Adams and President Andrew Jackson as major works of his career. Sully had studied under the famous American portrait painter, Gilbert Stuart, which provided him the techniques and political access to paint presidents as part of a career in the arts. These works defined a high level of sophistication for an American painter, which relied heavily on Sully’s training as a painter in America and in Europe. Sully became the premiere painter of American elites due to an ability to capture the

William was born in 1590 in Yorkshire, England. From a young age he displayed different beliefs than what were normal at the time. Due to this, at age seventeen he joining the separatist church in Scrooby. Two years later, when the congragation left England, he went with them to the Netherlands. This lead to

Holt does an amazing work interpreting and recounting the political movements from the 1840s and 1860. In doing so, he explains the destruction of the Whigs and the decimation of the Democrats. However, there is one glaring weakness. Holt suggests in his introduction that he means for the work to serve as a warning to contemporary politicians, but never makes clear why, nor does he offer any explanation of how the conflict of the 19th century could have been avoided. That said, it's still well worth the read for serious students. However, Holt principal subject: were these excusable and vindictive political leaders aware of the likely long-term consequences of their actions? Did the author of the Wilmot Proviso know that it would win the enthusiastic

Prior to taking this class I had heard the name Wilberforce in the saying, “Don’t be a Wilberforce!”. The saying did not have a good connotation. I had no real information on the man or his importance to his times. After reading this biography I would be pleased if someone called me a “Wilberforce”. I found him to be someone worth

When evaluating his discourse, one must remember that Rogers’ primary duty abroad was enacting English foreign policy; this is something he managed ably. The text demonstrates intimacy with both William the Silent of the United Provinces and Elector

‘Oh! Yes- Do let the portraits of your uncle and Aunt Phillips be placed in the gallery at Pemberley. Put them next to your great uncle the judge. They are in the same profession, you know; only in different lines. As for your Elizabeth’s picture, you must not attempt to have it taken, for what painter could do justice to those beautiful eyes’ (46).
