"Rubens Peale with a Geranium" is a notable painting created by the American artist Raphaelle Peale in 1801. This work is a striking example of early American portraiture and is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and the intimate portrayal of its subject. The painting features Rubens Peale, the artist's younger brother, who was also a prominent figure in the Peale family, known for their significant contributions to American art and science.

In the portrait, Rubens Peale is depicted holding a geranium, a plant that was relatively rare in America at the time, symbolizing both the family's interest in botany and the Enlightenment ideals of knowledge and discovery. The inclusion of the geranium also highlights the Peale family's involvement in the establishment of the first American museum, which combined art, natural history, and scientific exhibits.

Raphaelle Peale's technique in this painting is characterized by its fine brushwork and the realistic rendering of textures, from the soft petals of the geranium to the delicate features of Rubens' face. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension, creating a lifelike representation that captures the viewer's attention.

The painting not only serves as a personal family portrait but also reflects the broader cultural and intellectual currents of early 19th-century America. It exemplifies the Peale family's dedication to the arts and sciences, as well as their role in the cultural development of the young nation. Today, "Rubens Peale with a Geranium" is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
