Painter Gilbert Stuart, whose distinctive style is the way millions of Americans view the Founding Fathers and other key figures, died on this day in history, July 9, 1828.
Gilbert Stuart, who created portraits of key figures of the American Revolution and in early U.S. history, died on this day in history on July 9, 1828. Gilbert’s distinctive portrait style remains the way that modern Americans view many of the Founding Fathers and other figures central to the nation’s formative years, noted George Washington’s Mount Vernon official website.
He disliked this portrait, claiming he was too overwhelmed by the man himself to produce a better likeness, according to Mount Vernon. 'He repainted the portrait from memory in order to improve the piece, but remained dissatisfied with the final product as it had not been painted from life,' added the same source. Stuart again had the opportunity to paint Washington in 1796.
