Thomas Sully (1783-1872) painted some of the most dynamic
personalities of the 19th century, including Queen Victoria, Thomas
Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette. Although he created more
than two thousand portraits and subject paintings, his full
production has never before been examined in depth. The child of
actors, Sully's lifelong connection to the theater informed his
imagination. His portraits of 19th-century actors, celebrities,
royalty, and politicians established his reputation, and would mark
all his works, particularly his "fancy pictures," portraits evoking
scenes from literature, fairy tales, Shakespeare, or of his own
devising. This essential introduction demonstrates how the artist
interpreted the nature of painting as performance, manifested in
his dazzling productions. Three essays, 160 color reproductions,
and an illustrated chronology survey and elucidate his career.
