"Jonathan Sturges" is a notable oil on canvas painting created by American artist Asher Brown Durand in 1840. Durand, a key figure in the Hudson River School, is widely for his landscape paintings, yet he also excelled in the creation of portraits like this one. The painting encapsulates characteristics of Romanticism, extensively profound during the 19th century, seeking to emphasize emotion, individualism, and admiration of the natural world.

In this portrait, Durand immortalizes Jonathan Sturges, a prominent American businessman and art patron. Sturges was a significant figure in the banking industry and an influential supporter of the arts during the 19th century. As a patron, his assistance was essential to the careers of several American artists, including Durand himself.

The painting illustrates Sturges seated, looking directly at the viewer. His attire reflects his high social status, a common practice in portraiture of this period. Durand's deft brushwork captures vivid details from Sturges' facial features to the texture of his clothing, emanating the sitter's aura of quiet confidence and sophistication. This artwork is a testament to the intertwined relationships between art and patronage in the 19th-century American cultural milieu.

"Jonathan Sturges" by Asher Brown Durand can be viewed from the differentiated perspectives of historic and artistic significance - not only does it provide insight into the 19th-century American society and culture, but also into Durand's versatility as an artist, demonstrating his expertise beyond just landscape paintings.
