The Selected Papers of Charles Willson Peale and His Family: Volume 2, The Artist as Museum Keeper, 1791-1810

The third volume in this series continues the story of the talented and fascinating Peale family, focusing on Charles Willson Peale's years at Belfield Farm and the varied activities of his maturing children. Arranged chronologically and accompanied by introductory essays and annotations, the documents illuminate not only Peale's personality, ideas, art, and activities but also the art and culture of the United States during the early stages of its development. Peale's idyllic retreat outside of Philadelphia afforded many opportunities for him to experiment in mechanics, landscape gardening, and art. On his farm he created windmills, waterwheels, and new ploughs to improve agricultural labour and he created a lovely garden that became famous throughout Philadelphia. New techniques learned from hs son Rembrandt stimulated him to return to painting and resulted in some of his most interesting portraits and landscapes. Belfield's tranquil atmosphere encouraged him to write, in particular the lengthy Essay to Promote Domestic Happiness. Despite Peale's retirement from the management of the Philadelphia Museum, he continued to be involved in its problems and development. And during this fruitful period he also attended to the needs of his children - Raphaelle's professional difficulties and economic problems, Rembrandt's Baltimore Museum and artistic ambitions, Linnacus's pursuit of military adventures, Titian Ramsay's desire to explore the western wilderness, and his younger sons' and daughters' education.

The fourth volume in this widely praised series chronicles the last years of prominent American artist Charles Willson Peale, a time of struggle for the family patriarch and his talented sons. The documents in this illuminating collection poignantly describe Peale's travails as his own health deteriorates and as he and his family attempt to cope with the economic forces of the era--panic, depression, and financial instability. The Peales' desire to create for their young country a meaningful artistic culture through works of art and public institutions forms an important chapter in the American story.Arranged chronologically and accompanied by an introduction and annotations, the materials in this volume disclose Peale's diminishing enthusiasm for agricultural pursuits, resumption of his management of the Philadelphia Museum with the help of sons Titian Ramsay and Franklin, and his important artistic accomplishments, including the famous self-portrait The Artist in His Museum. Meanwhile, Peale's adult sons were working to establish themselves in the urban centers of the republic: Rubens not only took over and enlarged the troubled museum in Baltimore, he opened another museum in New York City that flourished despite the depressed economy; Rembrandt gained stature as a portraitist in New York City and produced such handsome portraits as the "standard likeness" of George Washington, Patriae Pater; and Raphaelle, though suffering from disabling pain and illness, earned a reputation before his death as a master of the still-life genre.
