John Copley
What was John Singleton Copley’s…?
What was the style of John Singleton Copley’s painiting Paul Revere? What style did he usually paint in?
His style was straightforward and realistic, he was known for his portraits of important figures in colonial New England.
In his portrait of Paul Revere he used a device known as the portrait d’apparat, in which artifacts used by the subject are included in the portrait. Here he holds one of his silver teapots. http://www.safran-arts.com/42day/art/art4jul/copley/revere.html
Some writers see this painting as a mystery, since Revere is depicted in workingman’s clothes, making this painting quite different from the usual run of colonial American portraiture.
