Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth study of John Singleton Copley by examining his signed and dated pictures. The book offers corrections to earlier accounts of his artistic journey, arguing that he had artistic training in his younger years, contradicting commonly held beliefs that his instruction was exclusively self-directed. The book places Copley's artistic growth within the context of the art scene in Boston at the time, revealing the vibrant cultural environment he was immersed in and examining his artistic development through the lens of his pictorial style and subject matter over time. The book not only contributes to a richer understanding of Copley's artistic evolution as an American artist who later gained renown in England but also sheds light on the broader artistic and cultural milieu of Boston in the 18th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
