Gilbert Stuart: Master Portrait Painter

Our founding fathers (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson et al) were always one step ahead of history and having an artist of such immense talents as Gilbert Stuart to paint their portraits has made the images of our founding fathers indelible in the minds of the modern reader. As a TJ enthusiast I often wonder how amazing it must of been to have "sat" for Gilbert Stuart a known storyteller and have your portrait painted. Mr. Jefferson was a favorite portrait sitter and this book is a lovely trip down memory lane (circa 18th century) to read about the fascinating story behind the portraits and the artist. 9781312273276 1312273275 375 Biography & Autobiography NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=J1PSBgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
