Painting Description
"Profile Portrait Of Captain Meriwether Lewis" is a distinguished work by the French-American artist Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, created in the early 19th century. Saint-Mémin, renowned for his meticulous profile portraits, employed a technique that combined the use of a physiognotrace—a device that allowed for the accurate tracing of a sitter's profile—with detailed engravings. This method enabled him to produce highly precise and lifelike representations of his subjects.
Captain Meriwether Lewis, an American explorer best known for his role as the leader of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, sat for this portrait during a period when he was gaining national prominence. The portrait captures Lewis in profile, a common style of the time, which emphasizes the strong and determined features that characterized his persona. The simplicity of the profile view, devoid of extraneous detail, directs the viewer's attention to the subject's facial features, providing a clear and focused representation.
Saint-Mémin's portraits are notable for their clarity and precision, and the "Profile Portrait Of Captain Meriwether Lewis" is no exception. The artist's ability to convey the essence of his subject through minimalistic yet detailed lines is evident in this work. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of one of America's most significant explorers but also exemplifies the artistic techniques and cultural values of the early 19th century.
This portrait is part of a larger body of work by Saint-Mémin, who created numerous portraits of prominent American figures during his career. His works are valued for their historical significance and artistic merit, providing insight into the individuals who shaped early American history. The "Profile Portrait Of Captain Meriwether Lewis" remains an important piece, reflecting both the legacy of its subject and the skill of its creator.
