Painting Description
"Abraham Lincoln" is a renowned oil on canvas portrait of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, painted by the American artist George Peter Alexander Healy in 1869. This posthumous portrait is one of the most iconic representations of Lincoln and has contributed significantly to the visual legacy of the president known for leading the nation through the Civil War and for his role in the abolition of slavery.
George Peter Alexander Healy (1813–1894) was one of the most prolific and respected portrait painters of his time, having painted numerous public figures and presidents. Healy's portrait of Lincoln is particularly notable for its introspective and thoughtful depiction of the president, capturing a sense of the weight and solemnity of the office during a tumultuous period in American history.
The painting was commissioned by the U.S. government as part of a series to commemorate the nation's presidents and was based on a life study Healy had completed in 1864, when Lincoln sat for him in the White House. The 1869 portrait, however, was completed four years after Lincoln's assassination, and Healy had to rely on his earlier sketches and studies to finalize the work.
Measuring 47 x 38 1/4 inches (119.4 x 97.2 cm), the portrait is characterized by its realistic style and the use of light to draw attention to Lincoln's face, which is rendered with a sense of dignity and quiet resolve. The painting is part of the White House collection and hangs in the State Dining Room, serving as a poignant reminder of Lincoln's enduring impact on the United States.
Healy's "Abraham Lincoln" has been widely reproduced and remains one of the most recognizable images of the president. It stands as a testament to Healy's skill as a portraitist and to the enduring fascination with Lincoln's presidency and his role in shaping the nation's history.
