  • Portrait Miniatures in the New Republic
    he stunning events of July 1804 were almost unfath- omable for the citizens of the new American republic. One Founding Father had fatally wounded another. TAlexander Hamilton was dead and Aaron Burr would be indicted for murder. The duel and its aftermath marked a turning point in American culture. Five days before the Burr-Hamilton duel, Edward Greene Malbone arrived for a week’s stay in New York. Considered the Portrait finest miniaturist in the United States, Malbone was attractive, popular, already exceedingly successful, and only twenty-six miniatures years old.

The painting was not worth the visit, but my curiosity was piqued by another piece in the collection, a self-portrait by the looks of it, painted by an unidentified artist (fig. 1). Because it was covered with layers of dark varnish, I suggested to the owner that he have it cleaned. Unexpectedly, the restorer uncovered the full signature of the artist, “Francesco Mezzara,” as well as a date, 1806.

Their surviving children were: William, Jr. (1766), Ann (1770), Peter (1772), Catherine (1774), Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, Ebenezer (1776), John Treat (1778), Sarah (1780) and Washington.[1] 1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, his- torian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.. His historical works include biographies of George Washington, Oliver Goldsmith and Muhammad, and sev- eral histories of 15th-century Spain dealing with sub- jects such as Christopher Columbus, the Moors and the Alhambra. Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846. He made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of ob- servational letters to the Morning Chronicle, written un- der the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. After moving to England for the family business in 1815, he achieved in- ternational fame with the publication of The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. in 1819–20. He continued to publish regularly — and almost always successfully — throughout his life, and just eight months before his death (at age 76, in Tarrytown, New York), completed a five- volume biography of George Washington. Irving, along with James Fenimore Cooper, was among the first American writers to earn acclaim in Eu- rope, and Irving encouraged American authors such Watercolor of Washington Irving’s Encounter with George Wash- as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Henry ington Wadsworth Longfellow, and Edgar Allan Poe.

Henry Clay and the American State Portrait Clifford Amyx America, having rejected royalty and established a republic, was obliged to create a state portrait without royalist trappings. In fact, when Pres. Andrew Jackson was accused of exercising unwarranted executive power he was caricatured with precisely the most familiar of the royalist attributes-the ermine robe, the sceptre of power, and the crown. American painters, seeking to create a sense of authority in the portraits of their statesmen, retained from Europe two of the basic attributes of formal or stately presence, the flowing heavy drape familiar in Baroque court portraits, and the classical column with its connotation of a formal or stately milieu. These attributes were familiar to the American artists who learned their art in England.
