The Wright Family

Artist: Joseph Wright (American, 1756-1793)

Date: 1793

Medium: Oil on canvas, unfinished

Collection: Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Wright Family

During his brief life, Joseph Wright became the first American-born student to study at the Royal Academy Schools in London, made the first sculptural likeness of George Washington (whom he also painted from life), caroused while studying in Paris, and survived a shipwreck off the coast of Maine. He was assisted in many of his adventures by his mother, Patience Lovell Wright, a flamboyant modeler in wax and the first known American sculptress, who had emigrated to Europe in search of famous clients. The Academy's painting is Wright's final work, begun in the summer of 1793 while the artist and his family were living at 21 Sassafras Street (now Race Street), awaiting his confirmation as first engraver to the U. S. Mint. Its composition, featuring Wright gesturing toward his growing family, reveals its indebtedness to the English conversation piece, as does its rather grandiose (and improbable) vaulted architecture and drapery swag. Yet for all that, the tenderness of the artist for his family is apparent in the sweetness of expression with which Sarah Wright regards her youngest daughter as well as in the directly curious gaze of little Joseph Wright, Jr. Tragically, both Sarah and Joseph Wright perished in a yellow fever epidemic during 1793, leaving the portrait unfinished and the young children orphaned.

I get why people headcanon that Trucy would call Edgeworth "Uncle Miles" because it represents how close he is to Nick and Trucy and how he's basically part of the family etc. HOWEVER I cannot help but imagine the shock and horror of passersby who hear Trucy call one man "uncle" and one "daddy" as they watch Nick and Miles interact lovingly in public and come to the conclusion that Nick is openly cheating on his spouse with his spouse's brother.

sometimes a family is an art school dropout, his adopted magician daughter, and his professional rival.
