Care for an Apple?

Daniel Huntington towered over the New York art world in the nineteenth century, serving as president of the National Academy of Design and the Century Association.  He began as a landscape painter working in the style of the Hudson River School, but soon expanded his repertoire to include history painting, portraiture, and literary subjects.  Cooper Hewitt is home to nearly 1000 of his drawings, including this study of Katrina Van Tassel, the object of Ichabod Crane’s affections in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

This portrait of Katrina paring apples was used for an illustrated edition of Washington Irving’s ghostly tale.  A related painting, with Ichabod looking over her shoulder, is now in the collection of Historic Hudson Valley. In it, Katrina’s green and red dress mimics the colors of the apples in her lap.

LEFT: Daniel Huntington’s illustration for “Legend of Sleepy Hollow. From ‘The Sketch-Book’ of Washington Irving.” (New York, NY: G. P. Putnam, 1864), p. 24. RIGHT: Daniel Huntington, “Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel,” 1861. Oil on canvas, 29 5/8 x 24 ¼ in. (75.2 x 61.6 cm). Gift of Vanderbilt Webb and William H. Osborne, Historic Hudson Valley, Pocantico Hills, NY (PM.71.2 a-b).

The text accompanying this illustration describes Ichabod’s first impressions of the Van Tassel house:

In a corner stood a huge bag of wool, ready to be spun; in another a quantity of linsey-woolsey just from the loom; ears of Indian corn, and strings of dried apples and peaches, hung in gay festoons along the walls…From the moment Ichabod laid his eyes upon these regions of delight, the peace of his mind was at an end, and his only study was how to gain the affections of the peerless daughter of Van Tassel.[1]

Though Ichabod sets out to woo Katrina, he is thwarted by a romantic rival, Brom Bones.  In the story, Ichabod, a superstitious schoolmaster, disappears after being chased by a headless horseman—possibly a supernatural figure, though more likely Brom in disguise.  Sleepy Hollow concludes with Brom marrying Katrina, and looking “exceedingly knowing” whenever the story of Ichabod is related.

I thought that Cooper Hewitt’s portrait of Katrina was appropriate for the start of October, in part because she appears slightly sinister. The shadows on her face are deeper than in the final composition, and the cloth over her head is eerily diaphanous. Turning an apple in her left hand, she uses the knife in her right hand to remove the peel in one long, curling ribbon, dangling below. The image reminds me of an earlier passage in Sleepy Hollow in which Ichabod sat with “a row of apples roasting a spluttering along the hearth,” sharing stories of witchcraft and listening to “marvelous tales of ghosts and goblins.”[2]

Oldest Billionaire In The World, David Rockefeller, Dead At 101

David Rockefeller, the retired Chase Manhattan Chairman, and the grandson of John D. Rockefeller passed away at the old age of one hundred and one today.  Rockefeller was the world’s oldest living billionaire until he perished Monday morning in his Pocantico Hills, NY home as he slept.  His passing was due to congestive heart complications, as reported by Fraser Seitel, a spokesperson close to the Rockefeller family.

Rockefeller brought his 35-year career to an end as the chief executive of Chase Manhattan in 1981.

From the affirmation of The Rockefeller Foundation which validated his departure, he was referred to as “one of the most influential figures in the history of American philanthropy and finance, considered by many to be ‘America’s last great international business statesman’.”

He was sometimes called ‘the banker’s banker’, based on the announcement. Rockefeller is believed to have given away several billion dollars during his lifespan to a variety of organizations such as art museums, Harvard University, and Rockefeller University.

David Rockefeller was the last born child of John D. Rockefeller Jr.’s 6 children. John D. Rockefeller Jr. was the son of the Standard Oil magnate John D. Rockefeller.

In 1936 David completed studies at Harvard University and then went on to the University of Chicago where he achieved an advanced economics doctorate. Roughly 20 years later in 1961, he was designated as Chase Manhattan President then in 1969 became the chief executive and chairman of the bank.

He frequently discussed the significance of capitalism. Rockefeller was quoted as attributing capitalism to have “brought more benefits to more people than any other system in any part of the world at any time in history.”

Rockefeller concluded, “The problem is to see that the system is run as efficiently and as honestly as it can be.”

He was wed to Margaret McGrath for 56 years from 1940 to the time she died in 1996. Rockefeller and McGrath had 6 kids; David Rockefeller Jr., Abigail, Neva, Margaret, Richard, and Eileen.
