Comparison of Painting of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart and Charles Willson Peale

On Saturday, March 15, 2014, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Gallery # 753 is part of the so-called American Wing, with oil paintings of the American Revolutionary War decorated. The picture seen in this gallery celebrates a fierce battle with the hero of a new country. The most popular kind of painting at that time was still a portrait. Many portraits are in interior design, where they are arranged to convey not only the country but also political information.

"George Washington of the Princeton War on January 3, 1777" was painted by Charles Wilson Peale, one of America's most famous early artists in 1784. This portrait is unique as it is one of the few Washington people in Washington. It is a lifetime. The university paid the price of Peel as a gift for Guinea 50 grams, which is a gift from Washington, an indication of his respect, and compensation for war against the Nassau Concert Hall. In the background of the portrait, standing in the Nassau hall from the south in 1777 under the sword that grew up in Washington. The location suggested the end of the fight: the British red flag after retreating to the building; the US military marched under the blue flag. At the foot of Washington, General Hugh Mercer of the same name in Mercer County, New Jersey was fatally injured in the battle. Behind Washington there is a surgeon and another official with the American flag.

As the century goes on, young American artists have started painting in new ways. Artists such as Benjamin West (1738-1820), Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828), Charles Wilson Peel (1741-1827), John Singleton Copley (1738-1815), American art achievements It represents the best artist. Their theme is drawn as a pursuit of daily efforts. Copley pretended that Patriot John Adams was holding a document with one hand and pointing at the other on the desk. Again, he drew

Artists are very concerned about historical topics. Charles Wilson Peale painted a revolutionary general while serving in the Great Army and was known as a portrait of George Washington. When Samuel Jennings announced Free Display Art and Science (1792) to Philadelphia Library Company, he proposed a more extreme perspective on the personality of the country. Jennings depicts the Statue of Liberty to provide a book to a group of careful African Americans, but many directors of the library oppose slavery. Sculpture is cheaper than paintings and is widely used, and there are many that highlight the national flags such as national flag, eagle, liberty statue etc.
