EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Oliver Hazard Perry, a renowned American naval officer who played a significant role in the War of 1812. Painted by Rembrandt Peale around 1813-14, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 72.3x60 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society. In this half-length portrait, Perry exudes an air of authority and determination befitting his status as a commodore in the United States Navy. Dressed in his navy uniform adorned with epaulettes, he stands proudly against a neutral backdrop, emphasizing his commanding presence. The artist skillfully captures Perry's likeness with intricate brushstrokes that highlight every detail from his facial features to the medals adorning his chest. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and wisdom acquired through years of military service. Notably, this painting commemorates Perry's famous victory over the British at Lake Erie in 1813 during which he uttered the immortal words "We have met the enemy and they are ours". Unfortunately, despite his triumphs on the battlefield, Perry's life was cut short by yellow fever while stationed in Trinidad. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history when bravery and resilience prevailed against formidable odds. It serves as a timeless tribute to Oliver Hazard Perry's contributions to our nation's naval legacy.
