Portrait of Benjamin Henry Boneval Latrobe
description: "During his first term as President, in March 1803, Thomas Jefferson appointed Benjamin Latrobe Surveyor of Public Buildings. It may have been in recognition of this honor that Latrobe's good friend Charles Willson Peale painted this portrait for his Philadelphia gallery of distinguished persons. . . . ". . . The Latrobe portrait is not listed in [the artist's] museum Accession Book, begun about [1804], so it was probably painted later that year or early in 1805. . . . ". . . The artist boldly blocked in the ear, and he deftly brushed in the curly hair, sometimes dragging a nearly dry brush in short arcs. The silver-rimmed spectacles pushed back into the hair are incompletely indicated, almost improvised. "The face is handsome, but the artist is concerned first with character and mind. It is a moody, introspective likeness, alive with intellect." (Kloss, William, et al. Art in the White House: A Nation's Pride. Washington, D.C.: The White House Historical Association, 2008.)

Fourth of July in Centre Square
description: John Lewis Krimmel emigrated from his native Germany to Philadelphia in 1810. At first he supported himself by painting portraits and teaching drawing but soon began to paint images of Philadelphia life; he may, in fact, be the earliest American artist to specialize in genre scenes. Krimmel was actively involved with the then-new Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts until his death by drowning in the Schuylkill River. "Fourth of July in Centre Square" depicts a broad range of the city's population, including fashionable ladies and gentlemen, plainly dressed Quakers, and African-American citizens. Latrobe's Philadelphia Water Works, shown at left, was considered a marvel of engineering as well as an icon of neo-classical design for the growing city. The clean water provided by its steam-driven pumping station also made possible America's first public fountain, the centerpiece of which was "Water Nymph and Bittern," an allegory of the Schuylkill River carved by William Rush.
