"Bishop Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus" is an oil painting by the renowned American artist Gilbert Stuart, created circa 1823. The portrait features the prominent French ecclesiastic Jean-Louis Anne Magdelaine Lefebvre de Cheverus, who served as the first Bishop of Boston from 1808 to 1823, before returning to France to become the Bishop of Montauban and later the Archbishop of Bordeaux. Stuart, known for his portraits of early American statesmen, including the famous unfinished depiction of George Washington, captures Bishop Cheverus with a dignified and contemplative expression, reflecting his significant role in the establishment of the Catholic Church in New England.

The painting is executed with Stuart's characteristic attention to the sitter's personality and status. Bishop Cheverus is portrayed in his ecclesiastical attire, which signifies his high rank within the Church. The portrait is notable for its fine detail, particularly in the rendering of the bishop's facial features and vestments, which convey a sense of the sitter's piety and dedication to his religious duties.

As an important work by Gilbert Stuart, "Bishop Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus" is not only a testament to the artist's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the religious and cultural landscape of early 19th-century America. The painting is an example of Stuart's later work and contributes to the understanding of his artistic legacy.

The portrait of Bishop Cheverus holds significance in both art history and the history of the Catholic Church in the United States. It remains an object of study for scholars interested in the intersection of art, religion, and the formation of American identity during a period of rapid growth and change. The painting is part of a collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it continues to be exhibited and appreciated by the public.
