Samuel Williams, c. 1817 (oil on canvas)
499629 Samuel Williams, c.1817 (oil on canvas)
by Allston, Washington (1779-1843); 172.5x142.5 (framed) 142.2x111.8 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Whether Allston was at home in Boston or on one of his two extended trips to Europe, the art world of his day regarded him as Americas foremost proponent of Romantic painting. Along with his visionary landscapes and scenes from literature, his portraits also make statements about the workings of the imagination. Although Samuel Williams (d.1841) was a merchant and a banker, this canvas suggests nothing about his professional life. Instead, the painter made this portrait commission an opportunity to explore the experience of revery. Williams looks off absently into his chamber, apparently inspired by the pictures in his illustrated book. With its view of an Italianate landscape beyond the columns of this invented setting, the painting invites its viewers to join the sitter in dreaming about far-away places.); Mr. and Mrs. William H.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Samuel Williams, painted by Washington Allston in 1817, offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of both the artist and his subject. Allston was widely recognized as America's leading proponent of Romantic painting during his time, and this masterpiece showcases his ability to evoke emotions through art. Although Samuel Williams was a merchant and banker by profession, Allston chose not to depict him in that context. Instead, he used this commissioned portrait as an opportunity to delve into the realm of reverie. Williams is portrayed gazing absentmindedly into his chamber while engrossed in an illustrated book. The canvas transports viewers beyond the confines of reality with its Italianate landscape visible through imaginary columns. Allston invites us to join Williams in dreaming about far-away places, urging us to explore our own imaginations. Through this artwork, he reminds us that there is more than meets the eye and encourages us to embrace our inner dreamer. This print of Samuel Williams' portrait now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It serves as a testament not only to Allston's artistic prowess but also to his ability to capture the essence of human experience beyond societal roles and expectations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless piece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts around the world to appreciate and be inspired by its beauty for generations to come.
