Tour: John Singleton Copley (American, 1738-1815) Overview Start Tour next room back to American painting Overview John Singleton Copley, the foremost artist in colonial America, was virtually self-taught as a portraitist. By meticulously recording details, he created powerful characterizations of his Boston sitters. After he emigrated to London in 1774, Copley began to specialize in narrative scenes from history and joined the influential artistic institution, the Royal Academy of Art. Copley demonstrated a genius, in both his American and British periods, for rendering surface textures and capturing emotional immediacy.

John Singleton Copley American Mrs. Thomas Gage Oil on canvas 50 x 40 in. In 1771, Copley left his native Boston for a six-month stay in New York, where he accepted numerous portrait commissions. His first subject was Margaret Kemble Gage, the American-born wife of General Thomas Gage, commander-in-chief of the British forces in North America (who had sat for a portrait by the artist in 1768). Mrs. Gage wears a turbanlike swath of drapery, a silk caftan over a lace-trimmed chemise, and an embroidered belt - a Turkish-style costume that enhances her languid pose. Such clothing was fashionable at British fancy dress balls, but since masquerade balls were not held at the time in New York, Mrs. Gage would have had no occasion to wear the costume outside the studio. Her faraway gaze suggests pensive thought and intellectuality, implying that she was not preoccupied with trivial matters. This is the first painting in which Copley depicted a woman in such exotic clothing or in such a state of melancholic reverie. [Timken home page] [American ] [Dutch and Flemish ] [Italian ] ...

J ohn S ingleton C opley America's First Great Portrait Artist By the mid-1700's the portrait was virtually the only art form available to the American painter. Portraiture was in great demand in the colonies and was sufficient to support a small number of artists. WATSON AND THE SHARK Foremost among these was John Singleton Copley. Born in Boston in 1738, Copley was influenced by the mezzotints of his stepfather, Peter Pelham, and the portraits of local portrait painter John Smibert. Copley painted both the young and the aged but emphasized setting to convey the desired mood. Ladies posed before fine furniture and textured draperies; men were surrounded by books and tools, hunting dogs and guns. His style was straightforward and realistic, creating portraits of great strength. Among his many 'subjects' were portraits of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams and countless lords and ladies of his era, both in America and in London. Eventually, Copley wearied of Boston where, he felt, painting was valued only as a useful craft. The public was "entirely destitute of all just ideas of the arts," so he left for London in 1774. After the painter's obligatory tour of Italy and then settling down in London, Copley turned to historical and religious paintings on a grand scale. THE DEATH OF MAJOR PIERSON In London he exhibited his famous Watson and the Shark, depicting a real-life event that occurred in Havana harbor. The painting portrays Brook Watson, a friend of the painter, who, as a boy, lost his leg to a shark while his friends struggle to rescue him in the water. Today, this work is considered to be an early landmark of romanticized contemporary history painting.

Copley, John Singleton Copley, John Singleton (b. July 3, 1738, Boston [Mass., U.S.]d. Sept. 9, 1815, London, Eng.) Generally considered the finest painter of colonial America, John Singleton Copley painted portraits and historical subjects. His Boston portraits show a thorough knowledge of his New England models, and his talent as a draftsman and colorist produced pictures of aristocratic elegance and grace (emigrated to London in 1775). Copley was born on July 3, 1738, in Boston, Mass., to immigrants recently arrived from Ireland. He began to paint in about 1753. His earliest works show the influence of his stepfather, an engraver, and the Boston artist John Smibert. In about 1755 Copley met the English artist Joseph Blackburn, whose use of rococo lightness and coloring he quickly adopted. He also made use of the rococo device called portrait d'apparatportraying the subject with objects associated with his daily lifethat gave his work a distinction not usually found in 18th-century American painting. Eager to expand his reputation beyond New England, Copley sent his

Featured Online Exhibits February, 1999 Watson and the Shark , by John Singleton Copley National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. This is one of the few exhibits on the Internet to take a single painting as its focus, and the result is astoundingly good. It amounts to about 50(!) web pages of material on this early American masterpiece. The exhibit is broken down into four sections, in which you can read the story of Brook Watson's shark attack, learn about Copley's life and career, see some of the compositional elements of the painting illustrated, and learn about the sources which Copley drew upon in constructing the scene. It's full of fascinating facts and observations - for example, I might never have noticed that the painting is cropped in such a way as to foreshadow the loss of Watson's foot. There is also a great reproduction of the painting, along with detail images and even an infrared photograph. And, in this worldly day and age, it's sobering to learn that at the time he painted this scene Copley probably had never even seen a shark, alive or dead. Click on the heading to visit the exhibit.

COPLEY, John Singleton (b. 1738, Boston, d. 1815, London) Biography American painter of portraits and historical subjects, generally acclaimed as the finest artist of colonial America. Little is known of Copley's boyhood. He developed within a flourishing school of colonial portraiture, and it was as a portraitist that he reached the high point of his art, and - as his Boston portraits later revealed - he gained an intimate knowledge of his New England subjects and milieu and was able to convey a powerful sense of physical entity and directness - real people seen as they are. From his stepfather, the limner and engraver Peter Pelham, Copley gained familiarity with graphic art as well as an early sense of vocation. Before he was 20 he was an accomplished draughtsman. To the Rococo portrait style derived from the English painter Joseph Blackburn he brought his own powers of imagination and a technical ability surpassing anyone painting in America at the time. Copley, in his portraits, made eloquent use of a Rococo device, the portrait d'apparat - portraying the subject with the objects associated with him in his daily life - that gave his work a liveliness and acuity not usually associated with 18th-century American painting. Although he was steadily employed with commissions from the Boston bourgeoisie, Copley wanted to test himself against the more exacting standards of Europe. In 1766, therefore, he exhibited Boy with a Squirrel at the Society of Artists in London. It was highly praised both by Sir Joshua

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History COPLEY, JOHN SINGLETON A portrait of his half brother Henry, Boy with a Squirrel, submitted to London's annual exhibition of the Society of Artists in 1766, brought great acclaim and invitations from both Joshua Reynolds, then president of the Royal Academy, and the American-born painter Benjamin West to work in Europe. In 1769 he married the daughter of a rich Tory merchant and soon purchased a twenty-acre farm on Boston's Beacon Hill. It was not until 1774, with political unrest and violence escalating in Boston, that Copley, the most accomplished painter in the colonies, heeded the repeated urgings of Reynolds and West and departed for London. Immediately he embarked on a tour of Italy, Germany, and Holland, studying and copying the old masters, ardently imitating them in preference to his own painfully worked out technique. His family joined Copley in London in 1775, and his career prospered. Although continuing to paint portraits, he increasingly turned his attention to grand history painting, which was at the time deemed to be of higher aesthetic significance. The first of these, Watson and the Shark (1778), brought Copley membership in the Royal Academy. His rise to wide public acclaim in England was epitomized by the successes of
