Abigael Bromfield Rogers (Mrs. Daniel Denison Rogers) by John Singleton Copley (American) - Oil on canvas / c. 1784 - Harvard Art Museum (Boston, Massachusetts) #womeninart #painting #harvardartmuseum #copley #artwork #portrait #art #artoftheday #johnsingletoncopley #bskyart #bsky.art #oilpainting
Copley painted this portrait of his step-niece ten years after he fled the chaos of revolutionary Boston to settle in London. With its striking, windswept sitter; dramatic background of whites, blues, yellows, and reds; and vigorous brushwork and ridges of impasto, the portrait shows how fully Copley embraced the ideals of high-style British portraiture. It shows a confidence and freedom that is absent in the more direct and methodical works he made in New England. This portrait is tied to a story of transatlantic travel and exchange. Rogers, born in Massachusetts, went to Europe soon after her marriage in 1781. She wears a long white flowing dress with white gloves and white shawl plus a giant eye-catching hat with lace trim, large crimson ribbons, and large crimson and white feathers. She and her husband visited the Copley family at Windsor Castle, where this portrait was painted. The work was eventually shipped to Massachusetts, and was passed down through the Rogers family along with several portraits Copley painted while working in Boston in the 1760s.

Last night I watched 4 hours of Ken Burns's American Revolution and learned that Paul Revere is Jack Black, so I fixed this portrait for you

The Power of Fashion in Colonial America
Both John Singleton Copley and his patrons wanted to present themselves in a certain way through portraiture.
