Painting Description
"Portrait of John Cox of Bridgeton, Maine" is a notable work by the American artist John Brewster Jr. (1766–1854), who was one of the most prominent itinerant portrait painters of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Brewster, who was deaf from birth, developed a unique style that is characterized by its serene and sensitive portrayal of subjects, often utilizing a soft palette and emphasizing the eyes, which has been interpreted as a reflection of his own mode of communication through visual cues.
The portrait in question depicts John Cox, a resident of Bridgeton, Maine, and is an example of Brewster's work during the period when he was active in New England, painting portraits of prominent local figures. The artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium typical of the time for formal portraiture. Brewster's paintings are known for their delicate treatment of light and shadow, as well as their attention to the fine details of clothing and accessories, which not only served to capture the likeness of the sitter but also to convey their social status and personal wealth.
While the exact date of the "Portrait of John Cox of Bridgeton, Maine" is not specified, Brewster's most productive period was between 1790 and 1820, which can be used to approximate the era in which the portrait was likely created. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the documentation of American cultural and social history, providing insight into the people and fashions of the Federal period in the United States.
John Brewster Jr.'s work has gained considerable scholarly attention, and his portraits are held in numerous museum collections, including the American Folk Art Museum in New York and the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York. The "Portrait of John Cox of Bridgeton, Maine" stands as a testament to Brewster's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, despite the communication barriers he faced as a deaf artist in early America.
