This review is from: Gilbert Stuart (Metropolitan Museum of Art Series) (Hardcover)
Beautifully done overview of the greater works of Gilbert Stuart.....and the special section of George Washington portraits is astounding. I've not seen some of these portraits of Washington before. As Gilbert Stuart is one of my favorite artists, this book is a real treat for me. The text is clear and well written and follows Stuart's career from the vantage point of his international residences. Anyone who truly loves portraiture will thoroughly enjoy this fine Yale University production. I'm hopeful to be able to view the originals that this publication promotes of Stuart's work scheduled to be on view at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington in early '05. This one's a keeper...........I only wish it was a bit more complete, though it certainly makes a valiant effort to present a fine sampling of Stuart's greatest work.

This is an excellent art history book,
This review is from: Gilbert Stuart (Metropolitan Museum of Art Series) (Hardcover)
This book covers portraiture during the American revolutionary war period. I heartily recommend this book to anyone. It discusses biography, history, and art in a way that is lets the reader reach a new levels of understanding about governance, politics, and leadership.
