Art/Paintings in the 1800’s
BY: GLORIA NOBLE
Gilbert Stuart
 Gilbert Stuart made many good paintings including one of himself, done
beautifully.
 Gilbert Stuart also painted the portrait of George Washington, the first
president, John Adams, Abigail Adams the second president, and John Quincy
Adams the sixth president, and also Thomas Jefferson the third president.
 He was born in December 3, 1755 and died July 9, 1828.
Thomas Cole
 Thomas Cole has made many beautiful paintings. Like The Past, and
The Present.
 Thomas Cole also founded Hudson River School!
 Sold three paintings to George W. Bruen which financed a Hudson
Valley trip!
 It seems to me like he likes to paint in twos (The Past and The Present)

Art and Paintings
 One painting I know of is Titian Ramsey Peale's Kilauea made in 1842,
shown below.
 Another beautiful painting is the Portrait of Madame Récamier
although it is not painted by an American I still appreciate it. Shown to
the right.
More Paintings by Americans
 Next is the painter,
Francisco Goya. He painted
this painting, it is called
Charles IV of Spain and
His Family, oil paint on
canvas. Shown here.
That’s a big family.
Artwork and Artists.
 The painting you see below is called Coalbrookdale by Night (shown in
the right corner) and is painted by Philip James de Loutherbourg, an
English artist of French origin. He also made Defeat of the Spanish
Armada. Shown in the left corner.
This painting is called
Lady Macbeth
Cattermole. I don’t
exactly know what it
is about and why she
is there or why the
man is in the bed. My
guess is that he is
sick. But she is from
Shakespeare's
Macbeth so there is a
connection. You’ll
have to read the book
or see the play to
under stand this
painting.
The Painting of George Cattermole,
Lady Macbeth
This is John Hogan
plaque form. I don’t
exactly know if he
made this himself or
another artist there. It
is very realistic but
I'm not sure what it is
made out of but I do
know that it sits in
County Waterford,
Ireland. Go see it for
yourself.

Robert Scott Duncanson
 Robert Scott Duncanson painted this picture which is called Landscape
with Rainbow. Didn't say when it was made and what it was made of,
the common paint is oil on canvas.
The statue of General George Henry Thomas
 Made by John Quincy Adams Ward,
this sculpture was made for the
General George Henry Thomas from
the Civil war. It now sits in Thomas
Circle, Washington, D.C.
This was painted by
Thomas Webster.
This is called In
Sickness and
Health. He is a very
interesting man.
His father was a
member of the
household of
George III for
example. He
painted this in
1843, oil on canvas.
The painter lived on
till 1886. He was 86
years old.
