 The Painter and the President   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The American artist Gilbert Stuart was just a few days short of his 39th birthday in late 1794 when he arrived in Philadelphia intent on painting portraits of President George Washington.
Considered the foremost American portrait painter of his day, the thoughtful and highly gifted artist managed to infuse his portraits of Washington, his most famous sitter, with a dignity and presence that inspire and still awe us today.
After early struggles and occasional misadventures there and in Ireland, he achieved success as a portrait painter, and would spend nearly 20 years abroad before returning to what had by then become the United States and the commissions for which he is best-known.

 John Trumbull, American Painter
John Trumbull is known for his portraits and history paintings of the leaders and events of the American Revolution.
His small oil portraits, his oil sketches for these history paintings, and his life portraits, especially the full-lengths of the 1790's, were influenced by his work with West and his knowledge of French painting.
When he learned that Gilbert Stuart intended to move there from Washington, he went instead to New York, thinking that "Boston...did by no means offer an adequate field of success for two rival artists" (Autobiography, 1841, quoted in Cooper 1982, 13).

 John Constable
Tentative at first, and carrying overtones of Claude and Gainsborough, his sketching had become by about 1810 a fluent and distinctly personal means of getting at his material, as can be seen from such examples in the Gallery as 'A Lane near Flatford and Dedham from near Gun Hill, Langham'.
His great friend Archdeacon John Fisher found a parallel in Gilbert White's method of 'narrowly observing & noting down all the natural occurrences that came within his view', but the entries on natural phenomena in Coleridge's notebooks are perhaps still closer to the spirit of Constable's observations.

Gilbert’s paintings, such as Arrival of Cardinal Wolsey at Leicester Abbey, 1530 (1891; London, V&A), are faultlessly executed and imaginative but their historical content seems heavily Victorian.
