Monsieur de St. George, painted by Mather Brown, is a distinguished portrait that captures the likeness of the celebrated 18th-century composer, violinist, and conductor Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Born in 1745 in Guadeloupe to a wealthy planter and an enslaved African woman, Saint-Georges rose to prominence in French society, overcoming the racial prejudices of his time to become one of the most accomplished musicians and fencers of his era. Mather Brown, an American artist who studied under Benjamin West in London, was known for his portraits of prominent figures, and his depiction of Saint-Georges stands as a testament to the latter's significant cultural and historical impact.

The portrait is notable for its refined execution and the dignified representation of Saint-Georges, who is depicted in elegant attire befitting his status as a gentleman and artist. Brown's use of light and shadow, combined with his attention to detail, highlights the composer's distinguished features and confident demeanor. This work not only showcases Brown's technical skill but also serves as an important historical document, offering insight into the life and legacy of a remarkable figure who navigated the complexities of race, class, and talent in 18th-century Europe.

Saint-Georges' contributions to music and his role as a pioneering black artist in a predominantly white society are underscored by this portrait. His compositions, which include symphonies, concertos, and operas, were highly regarded during his lifetime, and he was a contemporary of Mozart and Haydn. The portrait by Mather Brown thus immortalizes a man whose artistic achievements and personal story continue to inspire and resonate, reflecting the broader cultural and social dynamics of his time.
