Painting Description
"View of the Great Treaty Held at Prairie du Chien 2" is a historical artwork by James Otto Lewis, an American painter known for his depictions of Native American scenes and figures in the early 19th century. This particular piece captures the significant event of the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, which was conducted in 1825 in the presence of William Clark and Lewis Cass, who were United States treaty commissioners at that time. The treaty aimed to establish peace and define territories among the numerous Native American tribes in the region.
Lewis's work is notable for its ethnographic accuracy and attention to detail, providing a visual record of the Native American leaders and the solemnity of the occasion. The painting serves as a valuable historical document, offering insight into the clothing, regalia, and customs of the tribes present at the treaty signing. It also reflects the complex relationships and power dynamics between the United States government and the Native American tribes during a period of significant change and upheaval.
The artwork is part of a broader collection of Lewis's ethnographic paintings, which were later compiled into a portfolio titled "The Aboriginal Portfolio," published in 1835-1836. "View of the Great Treaty Held at Prairie du Chien 2" stands as a testament to Lewis's role as both an artist and an observer of pivotal moments in the early 19th-century American frontier, as well as his contribution to the visual documentation of Native American history and culture.
