Gilbert Stuart Portrait Master of Early America
Born December 3, 1755 near Newport Rhode Island, Gilbert Stuart rose as a premier American portrait painter. He studied in England with Benjamin West, painted notable figures including George III, Mrs Sidons, and Sir Joshua Reynolds, and sought to capture character in likenesses. He returned to America to paint George Washington, produced works now in Boston and New York museums, counted the first five U.S. presidents among sitters, died in Boston in 1828, and was inducted into the American Hall of Fame in 1900.
