Mrs. Francis Brinley and Her Son Francis

Artist: John Smibert (Scottish born American, 1688–1751)

Date: 1729

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Born Deborah Lyde, Mrs. Francis Brinley (1698–1761) was the daughter of Edward and Catherine Lyde and the granddaughter of Judge Nathaniel Byfield. When she married Francis Brinley in 1718, she was a woman of wealth and social prominence. An entry in Smibert's notebook dated May 1729 identifies the infant as the Brinley's son Francis (1729–1816). Mrs. Brinley holds a sprig of orange blossoms, a gesture which may have been taken from an eighteenth-century print by Sir Peter Lely. The white orange blossom symbolizes both marriage and purity, while the fruit, a sign of fertility, emphasizes Mrs. Brinley's role as a mother. Orange trees, although fashionable in Europe, were expensive rarities in the colonies. The presence of one here reinforces the sitter's wealth.

Eleanor Nightingale (1727). John Smibert (American, 1688-1751). Oil on canvas. Dallas Museum of Art.

Eleanor Nightingale poses clasping her silvery satin wrapping gown, a fashionable informal dress of the period. She gestures appropriately toward her husband, whose companion portrait would have been displayed nearby. This was painted the year she was married, commissioned to display Edward's new wife, a beautiful and voluptuous young woman. The column and green drapery in the background were invented by the artist to lend an air of importance and drama to the image. John Smibert was extremely talented at painting young women. This work is considered his most appealing London portrait of a female sitter.

Portrait of a Woman (Judith Colman Bulfinch?), John Smibert , c. 1734, Cleveland Museum of Art: American Painting and Sculpture

The appearance of a professionally trained British painter in the American colonies in 1729 marks a curcial point in the history of American art. Smibert not only imported the skills necessary to convey the impression of substantial, rounded forms in a picture, but his commercial success also inspired others to contemplate careers as painters. Born in Edinburgh and schooled in London and Italy, Smibert attracted numerous clients upon his arrival in Boston. The low bodice, long neck, and sinuous curl of hair in this portrait follow British conventions for depicting women. Research continues as to the identity of the sitter, long thought to be Mrs. Thomas Bulfinch (born Judith Colman, 1707-1765), since that name does not appear in Smibert's recently discovered records. Size: Framed: 94 x 81 x 6 cm (37 x 31 7/8 x 2 3/8 in.); Unframed: 75.6 x 62.2 cm (29 3/4 x 24 1/2 in.) Medium: oil on canvas

to have a soulmate you need a soul

Norrington didn’t believe it at first glance – or the second – but there she was: the widow, Mrs. Treat, standing at the gangway with a heavy belaying pin held in her hand, in disturbing contrast to her fine white-worked kerchief and lace. He’d been so fixated on Long Wharf – she must at least have been aboard the Watch and Wait before he arrived; she must have seen. How long had she been there? And what did she mean by –?

He was at least beginning to understand that Mrs. Treat was not to be underestimated; certainly, his life was proof that the widow was possessed of surprising capabilities. If any woman of his acquaintance in Boston would have waded into that mob with only a length of hardwood to defend herself, it would have been her. What she was even thinking at such a juncture? He had yet to see her afraid; even standing on Long Wharf in nothing but her – well – Even standing on Long Wharf soaked to the bone and barely holding her dignity together with two hands, Mrs. Treat possessed an enviable self-assurance. If she had no fear of drowning, why might she not shrug off the prospect of bodily harm if she found it necessary to defend her friends?

Friend, he amended, watching Mrs. Treat and Captain Hendricks share a speaking look. It wasn’t a wholly painless correction.

The Bermuda Group, Dean Berkeley And His Entourage

Artist: John Smibert (American, born Scotland, 1688–1751)

Date: 1728

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Yale University Art Gallery

Description:

In 1729, Dean George Berkeley set out from London to found a college in Bermuda "for the better supplying of churches in our foreign plantations and for converting the savage Americans to Christianity." Berkeley's friend John Wainwright commissioned a portrait of the members of the expedition from John Smibert, a minor Scottish painter whom Berkeley had invited to teach art in the new college. The painting was begun in London, and was completed after the group arrived in Newport to await additional funding for their college. Although Wainwright did not accompany Berkeley to the New World, Smibert places him prominently in the foreground. Dean Berkeley stands at the right next to his infant son Henry, his wife Anne, and her companion Miss Handcock. The two wigged gentlemen are John James and Richard Dalton, administrators for the new college. At the far left, looking out at the viewer, stands the artist himself. When the Bermuda college scheme failed, Smibert, the first academy-trained painter to work in the American colonies, established a studio in Boston, where he became the city's most sought-after portraitist, enjoying a lofty professional reputation. The Bermuda Group would remain his most ambitious work. As the most sophisticated group portrait painted in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century, it was a source of inspiration to numerous artists during the succeeding eighty years.

Richard Bill, John Smibert, 1733, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

The Scottish-born painter John Smibert studied in London and Italy before settling in Boston in 1728. His skills as a trained formal portraitist were in great demand among the wealthy and powerful colonists in Boston. Richard Bill was a prosperous merchant and politically involved citizen. Smibert depicted him dressed in fashionable costume and standing next to a writing table. A large ship is visible through the window in the background. These details hint at Bill’s success and prestige. Friends of American Art Collection Size: 127.6 × 102.2 cm (50 1/4 × 40 1/4 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas
