Painting Description
Robert Morris (1733-1806) was a prominent American merchant, financier, and a Founding Father of the United States. He played a critical role in the American Revolution and the early financial foundation of the United States. Born in Liverpool, England, Morris emigrated to the American colonies at the age of 13 and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He quickly became a successful merchant and was instrumental in the economic development of the colonies.
Morris's most notable contributions came during the American Revolution, where he served as the Superintendent of Finance from 1781 to 1784. His financial acumen was crucial in securing funds and supplies for the Continental Army, often using his own credit to support the revolutionary cause. He was also a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution, making him one of the few individuals to have signed all three of these foundational documents.
The engraving of Robert Morris by Thomas B. Welch (1814-1874) is based on an original portrait by Robert Edge Pine, which was later copied by James Barton Longacre (1794-1869). Thomas B. Welch was a renowned engraver of his time, known for his detailed and precise work. The original portrait by Robert Edge Pine captures the dignified and resolute character of Morris, reflecting his significant contributions to the founding of the United States. James Barton Longacre, who made a copy of Pine's original, was a prominent American engraver and the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
This engraving serves as a historical artifact, preserving the likeness of one of America's key historical figures. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of artists and engravers in the 19th century to commemorate and honor the legacy of the nation's Founding Fathers. The work of Welch, Longacre, and Pine collectively ensures that the image and memory of Robert Morris continue to be recognized and appreciated in American history.
