The white cravat around his neck, fashionable among wealthy men in the late eighteenth century, indicates that he was interested in the latest clothing trends. The man's confident gaze meets our own, telling us that he is assured of his place in society. The exquisite detail, seen in the irises of his eyes and the embroidery on his shirt, all rendered with thin, delicate brushstrokes, demonstrates Peale's mastery of the medium."}

{"Gallery Label": "The Wiley family owned the largest distillery in New York City during the years surrounding the Revolutionary War. John Wiley, depicted in this group portrait with his mother and sisters, took over the distillery business after his father\u2019s death and became a successful merchant in his own right, operating a fleet of commercial ships. His older sister, elegantly dressed for the occasion, holds on her arm a tame squirrel-- a symbol of her decorum and her suitability for marriage. The younger daughter, like many teenage girls, looks as though she\u2019d rather be anywhere but with her family. In the distance is a fanciful view of lower Manhattan. The presentation of colonial life as prosperous and idyllic reminds us of how eager the family was to see themselves as old world aristocrats in a new world setting."}

Robert had graduated from Harvard in 1763, and Copley's painting shows him settling into the comfortable life of a merchant prince.\nCopley owed his living to this new class, whose wealth supported the artists, writers, and educators of the colonies. He had joined the elite not long before, through his marriage to Susanna Clarke, daughter of a prominent Boston merchant. The union literally moved Copley up in the world, where he and \"Sukey\" bought property on Beacon Hill, above downtown Boston.Exhibition Label, Smithsonian American Art Museum, 2006"}

{"Luce Center Label": "It is not always possible to identify the sitter in a miniature portrait, and research is still being done on some of the works in the Museum\u2019s collection. Miniatures became popular in England during the early 1700s, commissioned by wealthy families on the occasions of births, engagements, weddings, and bereavements. These paintings, elaborately set into lockets or brooches, provided the wearer with a sentimental connection to a loved one. The back of the miniature often revealed a lock of the sitter\u2019s hair, symbolizing affection, commitment, or loss. The daguerreotype, invented in 1839, provided a cheaper, faster alternative, and portrait miniatures grew less popular. At the turn of the twentieth century, with the establishment of the American Society of Miniature Painters, miniatures enjoyed a brief revival."}

{"Luce Center Label": "Benjamin Trott's portrait of Anne Hume \"Nancy\" Shippen is a rare example, because he painted very few women early in his career. The sitter was regarded by her numerous admirers as \"sweet to look upon, and sweeter yet to hold.\" To please her parents, Shippen broke off an engagement with the man she loved in order to marry Colonel Henry Beekman Livingston in 1781. The marriage established ties of kinship among the Lees, Washingtons, and Livingstons, three prominent families from the nation's early history. Shippen ultimately left her husband and lived the rest of her days with her parents. Their daughter, Peggy, was sent to live with Colonel Livingston's mother until she was sixteen to protect her inheritance from her grandmother."}

{"Luce Center Label": "Small paintings of eyes first became popular during the late eighteenth century. They reminded wearers of a loved one, whose identity remained a secret. The single eye also symbolized the watchful gaze of a jealous partner, who feared that his or her lover might stray. One of the earliest known eye miniatures was painted in 1786 by the English artist Richard Cosway for the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. The miniature showed the eye of Mrs. Fitzherbert, the prince's mistress. The eye miniatures shown in the Luce Center would have been set in lockets, brooches, rings, or small boxes."}

{"Luce Center Label": "Son of John and Abigail Adams, John Quincy Adams grew up ambitious and educated. At ten he accompanied his father to Europe on a diplomatic mission.

In 1830 he was elected to the House of Representatives and earned the nickname \u201cOld Man Eloquent\u201d for his support of the arts and sciences. He was also known for his opposition to slavery, and fought for several years to repeal the \u201cgag rule\u201d that prevented Congress from accepting antislavery petitions. His political career came to an end in 1848 when he collapsed on the floor of the House from a stroke. He died two days later and was buried at First Parish Church in Quincy, Massachusetts. This early-nineteenth-century miniature depicts Adams many years before his death. His arched brow and intense gaze reflect the intelligence and motivation that shaped a successful political career."}

{"Luce Center Label": "\u201cMad Anthony\u201d Wayne (1745-1796) was one of the most colorful figures of the American Revolution. His early training as a surveyor came in handy as he guided his troops during the Valley Forge campaign. Following the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, Washington sent Wayne into South Carolina to chase the British out, after which he was promoted to major general. He returned home in 1783 and reentered the Pennsylvania legislature, where he had served until 1775. When Washington appointed him commander in chief of the United States Army, Wayne turned to fighting Indian tribes along the Great Lakes, finally achieving peace with the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 before retiring from military service. He chose to be depicted in this miniature in his uniform at the rank of major general, probably as he reentered the legislature."}

According to Spanish legend, the apostle James, patron saint of Spain, saw a vision of the Virgin Mary one night while he was praying on the banks of the Ebro at Saragoza. Mary asked for a church to be built on that spot. The church, Santa Maria la Mayor, was erected along with a statue of the Virgin mounted on a marble pillar. By 1456, the term Virgen del Pilar was so common among Catholics that Pope Calixtus III confirmed the name by papal decree.

This santo is meant to be dressed with textiles representing her habit. Her arms have been lost and she no longer wears a wig. The figure was found in a peasant home in the rural district of Minillas in San Germ\u00e1n, Puerto Rico. In its early colonial years, Puerto Rico had very few priests and it was difficult for those who lived in remote areas to attend church. As a result, rural Puerto Ricans worshiped at home before altars filled with santos, such as this Santa Rita."}

In certain regions St. John also served as the patron saint of irrigation, bridges, and other engineering projects.

After Catherine was baptized, Christ appeared to her in a dream and took her as his celestial bride, placing a ring on her finger. As a young woman she angered Maximinus II, who ruled Alexandria, when she converted the empress and the emperor\u2019s philosophers to Christianity. Maximinus ordered Catherine\u2019s death, having her bound between four spiked wheels. A flame from heaven destroyed the wheels, but she was eventually beheaded.

The most famous miracle credited to her on the island took place near Hormigueros, when the Virgin interceded to save a man from a charging bull. Her image was popular in Puerto Rico, where carved and painted versions were widely copied from mass-produced prints and prayer cards."}

In Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream, Helena eloquently describes her friendship with Hermia in the third act: \"So we grew together, / Like to a double cherry . . . / Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.\" Like many Americans of his time, Allston was educated in the classics. He painted Hermia and Helena in England when the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was reviving Shakespeare's plays. A friend of Allston's, Coleridge felt that Shakespeare expressed human sentiment perfectly.Exhibition Label, Smithsonian American Art Museum, 2006"}
