Gilbert Stuart Newton (1795-1835): British Romantic artist famed for portraits of Washington Irving & literary scenes inspired by Shakespeare, poetry & romance. RA academician.
Stuart"s most popular portraits of Washington are the so-called Athenaeum type, of which there are as many as sixty replicas dating from the turn of the nineteenth century until the artist"s death. Often disparagingly referred to as his "hundred-dollar bills"--after the price of each painting--the striking portraits not only provided an income for Stuart but also made him a major player in the development of Washington as a cultural icon, as the works sold far and wide.
