Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the compelling tale of the Sharples portraits, three uniquely valuable and distinctively independent works. These portraits depict George and Martha Washington and, prior to 1796, they were unknown to the American people, until the intervention of Robert Cary, a London merchant, who, acting in an unofficial capacity as their agent, secured the paintings and had them immediately dispatched to England. In this way, they were spared the destruction so many other nascent American works of art suffered during the challenges of the Revolutionary War era. The full-face portrait of Washington engendered widespread admiration from the moment of its first viewing, repeatedly being described as the definitive image of the Father of his Country. The author of this book argues that the Sharples portraits must be considered among the most powerful, realistic, and striking likenesses of George Washington and are a testament to the considerable artistic talent and skill of their creator, James Sharples. Altogether, this book puts forth a powerful case for the importance and value of these portraits and provides an excellent overview of their history, significance, and artistic merit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331177210_0
