Stuart's 1796 "Athenaeum" portrait of Washington was a landmark in the expression of contemporary ideas about moral strength; Evans shows that Stuart's painting reflected a genius for interpreting the sitter's personality and a growing awareness of painting's public role in conveying uplifting messages about social dignity and virtue; gathers information about Stuart from a wide variety of previously untapped sources, including unpublished interviews with the artist that shed new light on controversies over his portraits of Washington and Thomas Jefferson--Book jacket.
