Painting Description
"Daniel Webster" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American painter George Peter Alexander Healy, completed in 1851. The painting depicts Daniel Webster (1782–1852), a prominent American statesman who served as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and Secretary of State under three presidents. Known for his commanding presence and oratory skills, Webster was a leading attorney before the Supreme Court and a key figure in the shaping of the U.S. Constitution's interpretation.
Healy, one of the most prolific and respected portraitists of his time, was known for his ability to capture the essence of his sitters, which included many of the most influential figures of the 19th century. In this portrait, Healy portrays Webster near the end of his life, imbuing the work with a sense of gravitas befitting Webster's reputation as a statesman and orator. The painting is characterized by its realistic representation and the dignified demeanor of its subject.
The portrait of Daniel Webster is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance, as it captures one of the key figures in American political history. The work is an example of Healy's skill in portraiture and contributes to the visual documentation of American leadership during a formative period of the nation's history.
The painting is part of the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C., where it is displayed to the public. It serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting both the artistic style of the mid-19th century and the political climate of the era. As with many of Healy's portraits, "Daniel Webster" continues to be studied and admired for its craftsmanship and its place within the broader narrative of American art and history.
