This volume features nearly 500 paintings, watercolors, pastels,
and miniatures from Harvard University's storied, yet little-known,
collection of American art. These works, many unpublished, are
drawn from the Harvard Art Museums, the University Portrait
Collection, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and
other entities, and date from the early colonial years to the
mid-19th century. Highlights include a rare group of 17th-century
portraits, along with important paintings by Robert Feke, John
Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and
Washington Allston, in addition to works depicting western and
Native American subjects by Alexandre de Batz, Henry Inman, and
Alfred Jacob Miller, among others. Each work is accompanied by
scholarly commentary that draws on extensive new research, as well
as a complete exhibition and reference history. An introduction by
Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. describes the history of the collection.
Lavishly illustrated in color, this compendium is a testament to
the nation's oldest collection of American art, and an essential
resource for scholars and collectors alike. Distributed for the
Harvard Art Museums
