	Evans, D.: The Genius of Gilbert Stuart.
		Gilbert Stuart was probably the most gifted American portraitist of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries.
		In assessing Stuart's artistic importance, Evans argues that his 1796 "Athenaeum" portrait of Washington--the most recognized likeness of the president--was a landmark in the expression of contemporary ideas about moral strength.
		More generally, she shows that Stuart's painting reflected a genius for interpreting the sitter's personality and a growing awareness of painting's public role in conveying uplifting messages about social dignity and virtue.
