Description

Byron, Sully and the Power of Portraiture

Since the early 19th century, Byron, the man and his image, have captured the hearts and minds of untold legions of people of all political and social stripes in Britain, Europe, America, and around the world.

This book focuses on the history and cultural significance for Federal America of the only portrait of Byron known to have been painted by a major artist.

In private hands from 1826 until this day, Thomas Sully's Byron has never before been the subject of scholarly study. Beginning with his discovery of the portrait in 1999 and a 200 year narrative of the portraits's provenance and its relation to other well-known Byron portraits, the discusses the work within the broad context of British and American portraiture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Receiving the most attention are Thomas Lawrence and Sully, his American counterpart.
