2 Learning Target I can describe who George Washington was by analyzing paintings and creating my own images.

3 As a pair… Answer: Who was George Washington? Look at the images 1-7 and formulate your own ideas.

4 Image #1 Charles Willson Peale painted this portrait of George Washington in It is the only likeness of Washington rendered before the Revolutionary War. Peale depicted Washington as the colonel of the First Virginia Regiment, a position from which he had retired nearly fourteen years earlier. Washington wears his blue and red Virginia regiment uniform with silver braid trim, silver buttons and hat medallion, and lavender sash crossing his chest. A gorget, the symbol of command and status, hangs around his neck. At his side is the English-made sword the commander purchased in 1757, carried in 1783 when he resigned his commission as commander in chief of the Continental Army, and wore in 1789 when he was inaugurated president of the United States. Mountains, woodlands, an Indian camp, and river falls appear in the background on the left. Peale used them to represent both the past in the Ohio Valley, where Washington had fought for his king and colony, and the future, where the greatness of Virginia might lie. On Washington’s left is a “fowler,” a civilian firearm used for hunting.

Charles Willson Peale painted this full-length portrait of General George Washington in Philadelphia in Peale showed the commander in chief in uniform at the scene of his military triumphs in New Jersey. Facing left, Washington holds his hat in his right hand and rests his left hand on a cannon. Washington’s uniform consists of a dark blue coat with buff facings, buff waistcoat, and white knee breeches. A broad blue ribbon crosses his chest. Nassau Hall at Princeton College and a group of Hessian prisoners under guard are pictured in the background. At the right are an attendant holding a horse by its bridle, a flag with thirteen stars in a circle, and, below the cannon, captured Hessian flags. For this grand, full-length portrait of the commander in chief, Peale consciously chose a state portrait formula. The close similarity of Washington’s pose to that of King George III of England in his coronation portrait of twenty years earlier was at least as much an earnest as it was a satiric comment by the patriotic young artist that the New World also had heroes and great figures.
