The Washington Family, 1789-1796
Edward Savage
West Building, Main Floor — Gallery 62
This group portrait represents George Washington’s military, political, and family life. The president, in a Revolutionary War uniform, rests his hand on a plan for Washington, DC, the site for the new US capital. His wife, first lady Martha Washington, and her grandchildren join him at their Virginia plantation estate, Mount Vernon.
Research now suggests that the figure standing just outside the family group is Christopher Sheels, an enslaved attendant to the president. Unlike the four family members, Sheels is painted in shadow. Old damage to the paint makes it even harder to see his face clearly. Sheels’s presence signals that the president’s household depended on the labor of enslaved people, as did the economy of the young nation.
A light-skinned man, woman, boy, and girl, and a brown-skinned man sit and stand around a table spread with papers and a map in this horizontal portrait. The light-skinned man sits on a red upholstered chair at the table to our left, and his body faces our right in profile. His legs are crossed, and he rests his right elbow, closer to us, on the back of the chair. He has a sloping, rounded nose, dark eyes, jowls along his jawline, and his closed mouth juts forward. His left arm rests on an open pamphlet on the table next to a sword with a delicate silver hilt. To our left, the young boy stands also looks to our right in profile, next to the older man's chair. The boy wears a dusky rose-pink suit with a white lacy collar. With his right hand, he pulls back a dark green cloth covering a globe on a wooden stand along the left edge of the canvas. The woman sits at the right side of the table, across from the man. She has dark eyes, full cheeks, a double chin, and her pale lips are closed. She wears a voluminous ivory satin gown and petticoat with a black lace shawl, and an ivory cap with a satin bow covers her gray hair. She points to a spot on a map on the table with a closed fan held in her right hand. The young girl, wearing a gauzy white dress with a pine-green sash at the waist, stands on the far side of the table near the woman, holding the curling edges of the map. Behind the women, the brown-skinned man wears a rust-orange and gray uniform, and stands with one hand tucked into his vest in the shadows at the edge of the composition. His features are indistinct but he faces our left in profile. The room has a gold-and-yellow checkerboard floor, and a red cloth drapes from columns frame the scene to each side. It is unclear whether a river view at the back of the room is seen through an open window or door, or if it is a large painting behind the people.
Edward Savage's The Washington Family quickly became a veritable icon of our early national pride. In the winter of 1789–1790, President Washington and his wife posed for Savage in New York City, then the nation's capital. Mrs. Washington's grandchildren, taken in by the Washingtons after their father's death, probably also sat for their oil portraits in New York. Savage began to incorporate the separate life studies of their faces into a group portrait engraved on a copper plate. After a stay in England, he resumed the family portrait in Philadelphia—this time, however, in large format as an oil on canvas. The Washington Family was exhibited in 1796.
Savage's catalogue states that Washington's uniform and the papers beneath his hand allude to his "Military Character" and "Presidentship" respectively. With a map before her, Martha Washington is "pointing with her fan to the grand avenue," now known as Pennsylvania Avenue. An enslaved man dressed in livery and a supposed vista down the Potomac complete the imaginary scene.
Savage's self–taught ability to distinguish between satins, gauzes, and laces is nothing short of astonishing. However, the anatomy alternates between wooden and rubbery, and the family strangely avoids eye contact. Despite Savage's lack of experience, his huge Washington Family remains one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by a federal artist.
Edward Savage was a self-taught painter and engraver who became proprietor of a paintings gallery and natural history museum in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Although his abilities improved, his talent never equaled his ambition. Born in 1761 in Princeton, Massachusetts, he painted commissioned copies of portraits by John Singleton Copley and a naively painted full-length portrait of Abraham Whipple (United States Naval Academy, Annapolis) in the mid-1780's before making portraits of George and Martha Washington in New York in 1789-1790. He went to London in 1791, where he published prints of his portraits of Henry Knox and Washington and had some contact with Benjamin West. He returned to Massachusetts in 1794, painted portraits, and married Sarah Seaver of Boston.
Savage went to Philadelphia in 1795, where from July he exhibited his panorama of London. The following February he opened the Columbian Gallery, "a large collection of ancient and modern Paintings and Prints." (Gazette of the United States, 20 February 1796). From then until 1801 he worked in Philadelphia as a painter, engraver, print publisher and gallery operator. Although his painting and engraving techniques had improved in England, he relied considerably on the assistance of his apprentice John Wesley Jarvis and English engraver David Edwin. Later they and others claimed that their talents added significantly to the quality of Savage's work in these years.
Savage exhibited his London panorama in New York in 1797 and moved there in 1801, where he reopened the Columbian Gallery. He is listed in New York city directories through 1810 as a "historical painter and museum proprietor". Gallery exhibits included his paintings of The Washington Family, Liberty, The Landing of Columbus ("from a picture in the collection of the Grand Duke of Tuscany") and his copy of West's Cupid Stung by a Bee. Engravings of "Liberty, Columbus, Etna, Vesuvius, a large whole length of Washington...and many other Prints published by E. Savage" were for sale. The museum offered natural history exhibits that were "arranged, agreeably to the ideas of Sir Hans Sloane, and with the addition of a number of paintings, and other interesting articles, will form a complete source of amusement for every class, particularly the amateurs of Arts and Sciences." (The Daily Advertiser 10 June 1802). Charles Bird King was a pupil in 1800-1805. In the winter of 1805-1806 he and Charles Willson Peale exchanged natural history specimens. The following summer he made a sketching trip to Niagara Falls.
Savage went briefly to Baltimore in 1810, where he advertised as a portrait painter in March (American, and Commercial Daily Advertiser, 19 March 1810). He moved that year to Boston, where he re-established the Columbian Museum on Tremont Street. He died seven years later, in 1817, on his farm in Princeton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. One of many talented artists of the Federal period, Savage is best remembered as one of the first proprietors of a museum and picture gallery.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art. With its prime location on the National Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian Institution, visitors often think that the museum is a part of the Smithsonian. It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).

Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

Musée August Kestner - mosaïque représentant Orphée entouré d'animaux, Ve-VIe s. EC, Antioche
Bien qu'elle ait été créée dans l'Antiquité tardive , cette représentation devait encore avoir une signification pour les chrétiens du monastère . Parce qu'il a apparemment été réparé au 5ème ou 6ème siècle après JC. Dans l’Antiquité tardive, une doctrine secrète remontant à Orphée, l’orphisme, avait de nombreux adeptes. Ses principes étaient similaires à ceux du christianisme. L'évêque Eusèbe de Césarée (vers 260-399 EC) compara même l'effet de la musique d'Orphée sur l' âme humaine à celui de la Parole de Dieu. Le type d'«Orphée parmi les animaux» a été adopté par l'art chrétien pour représenter le Christ comme le «Bon Pasteur».
L'alignement de l'Orphée musical sur le thème du genre dit du berger - comme on le retrouve notamment dans l'art des sarcophages romains de la fin du IIIe siècle EC - n'a rien à voir avec la christianisation. Par exemple, les interprétations d’Orphée comme image du Christ sur les sarcophages et dans les peintures des catacombes doivent être considérées avec prudence. La littérature des Pères de l’Église contient principalement des comparaisons entre Orphée et le Christ. Les diverses relations entre Orphée et le Christ font comprendre que l' image du chanteur dans le monastère fut abandonné.

La Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es el edificio más representativo de Zaragoza, el templo barroco más grande de España y uno de los centros de peregrinación más importantes del país. Se considera el primer templo de culto mariano de la Cristiandad y en él se conserva la columna (o pilar) que la Virgen María, la noche del 2 de enero del año 40, entregó al apóstol Santiago cuando éste se encontraba a orillas del río Ebro convirtiendo a los primeros cristianos. Según la tradición, la Virgen en vida vino a Zaragoza a confortar y animar al apóstol en su empresa y al entregarle la columna le pidió que sobre ella levantase una capilla en la que se venerase su imagen.
Se conoce la existencia de varios templos anteriores al actual. Sobre una pequeña capilla dedicada a Santa María la Mayor que databa del siglo VIII se levantó, tras la Reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118, un templo románico que fue arrasado en un incendio. En 1515 se inauguró un nuevo templo gótico-mudéjar que fue sustituido por el templo barroco.
El templo actual es el resultado de un complejo y dilatado proceso constructivo que arranca a finales del siglo XVII y concluye a mediados del siglo XX, configurándose, sin embargo, como un edificio de carácter unitario de grandiosas dimensiones, armónicas proporciones y gran amplitud espacial. Fue diseñado por Felipe Sánchez y modificado por Francisco Herrera el Mozo y Ventura Rodríguez.
Presenta planta rectangular de salón con tres naves de igual altura, siendo más ancha la central, y capillas entre contrafuertes rodeando todo el perímetro del templo. Se plantea de este modo como iglesia de peregrinación para circular por ella sin molestar el culto. Cuenta con diferentes tipos de cubiertas (bóvedas, cúpulas) que se alternan de forma dinámica sobre gruesos pilares de sección cuadrada, salvo los que soportan la gran cúpula central que son poligonales. Los muros se articulan a base de pilastras que enmarcan las embocaduras de las capillas. La decoración interior es obra de Ventura Rodríguez, quien siguiendo tendencias clasicistas, sustituyó los elementos decorativos de estilo barroco que se proyectaron en origen.
Elemento a destacar en el interior del edificio es la Santa Capilla, templete de planta oval diseñado por Ventura Rodríguez, que se sitúa en el segundo tramo de la nave central. Fue construida para albergar el Camarín de la Virgen, donde se ubican la Santa Columna y la imagen de la Virgen y que, según la tradición, es el lugar en el que los depositó María y donde deberán permanecer hasta el final de los tiempos. Sobre los altares de la Santa Capilla, dos grupos escultóricos de José Ramírez de Arellano en mármol de Carrara representan a los siete convertidos con Santiago y la Venida de la Virgen respectivamente. Este conjunto es una exaltación de María a través de los sentidos. En la retórica del barroco es muy importante la persuasión, y nada mejor para ello que la narrativa plástica del milagro en los tres altares. Todo se cubre con una bóveda elíptica calada que deja ver la decoración pictórica de la cúpula pintada por Antonio González Velázquez.
Del interior cabe destacar de igual modo la bóveda del coreto, frente a la Santa Capilla, decorada por un joven Goya y que plasma el tema "La Gloria o Adoración del Nombre de Dios"; la cúpula que representa la "Regina Martyrum", también pintada por Francisco de Goya; las cúpulas decoradas por los hermanos Bayeu, el Retablo Mayor, obra de Damián Forment y el coro de Nicolás de Lobato, Esteban de Obray y Juan de Moreto.
Al exterior, el templo presenta cuatro fachadas construidas en ladrillo y piedra, de gran severidad compositiva, con muros articulados por pilastras y arcos enmarcando las puertas, siendo la fachada principal la que concentra los elementos más relevantes como el relieve realizado en piedra caliza por Pablo Serrano que representa la Venida de la Virgen del Pilar a Zaragoza. El conjunto se completa con las potentes cúpulas cubiertas con tejas vidriadas rematadas con linterna y cupulín y las esbeltas torres de los ángulos que acentúan la monumentalidad del edificio y le confieren un dinamismo de marcado acento ascensional.
La Catedral-Basílica cuenta con un tesoro que encierra un gran número de objetos de orfebrería litúrgica, destacando sobre todo el llamado Joyero de la Virgen, con coronas, diademas, resplandores, etc. de piedras preciosas, y la colección de más de 350 mantos de la Virgen.
En el templo están enterrados la mayoría de los arzobispos zaragozanos de la Edad Moderna, así como los cuerpos de San Braulio y del general Palafox, entre otros. Como curiosidad hay que citar las dos bombas de la guerra civil, expuestas en uno de los pilares, que cayeron sobre el edificio pero no llegaron a explotar. También cabe destacar la presencia de las banderas de España y de los diferentes países hispanoamericanos, por ser la Virgen del Pilar la patrona de la Hispanidad.

Buen balance dejó el recorrido realizado por miembros del Gobierno argentino, representantes de Prosperidad Social y de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas de Servicios para Proyectos (UNOPS) por municipios de Atlántico y Cesar, en el que se dio a conocer cómo funciona el programa de mejoramiento de viviendas que se desarrolla en el país, el cual ha impactado a miles de personas que ya cuentan con un hogar más digno y seguro. La jornada sirvió también para intercambiar conceptos, buenas prácticas e identificar el modelo de trabajo que se ha venido implementando desde el Gobierno Nacional.
La visita comprendió el acercamiento a las comunidades de Suan y Santo Tomás, en el Atlántico; en este último municipio se dio inicio a la construcción de 100 nuevos mejoramientos de vivienda por un valor aproximado a los $1160 millones. La comisión, también estuvo presente en la socialización del programa en La Jagua de Ibirico en el Cesar. Este fue el escenario ideal para que los beneficiarios compartieran su experiencia y manifestarán cómo los mejoramientos de vivienda han cambiado sus vidas.
“Nunca debemos olvidar que estamos en un país que es un mismo barco, y debemos remar juntos para sacarlo adelante. Estoy feliz y sorprendida con la articulación virtuosa del Gobierno colombiano en las distintas instancias: nacional, departamental y municipal, siendo esta la clave del éxito”, afirmó Mónica Rivero, Jefe de Gabinete de la Secretaría de Vivienda y Hábitat de la República de la Argentina, sobre el trabajo de mejoramientos de vivienda que se vienen realizando en Colombia.
Por su parte, Kelly Sarmiento Escorcia, Subdirectora General de Programas y Proyectos de Prosperidad Social, explicó que “la misión internacional de argentina nos acompañó para evaluar y conocer el proceso de mejoramiento de vivienda. Lo más satisfactorio del recorrido fue escuchar a la comunidad y ver como se transforma la vida de las personas y de la población al contar con hogares en condiciones dignas”.
Anuncios importantes
Otra buena noticia fue la que dio el alcalde de Santo Tomas, Luis Alberto Escorcia, quien compartió que están a días de empezar los procesos licitatorios para el mejoramiento y construcción de nueva malla vial, financiado en buena parte por Prosperidad Social.
Por otro lado, en el municipio de Soledad, Atlántico, la entidad, hará entrega de cuatro importantes obras de pavimentación vial que beneficiará a cerca de diez mil habitantes de estas zonas con más de 2 kilómetros de vías. Adicional, se entregará un nuevo canal en concreto reforzado para el cauce del arroyo que atraviesa el colegio ITIDA.

This picture represents me because I like cities and where I live. I emphasized the building because I live in an apartment. When I first came to Canada the house that I lived in was an apartment. It had a beautiful view from it. When I look at these buildings they all look the same and look like ordinary houses, but these houses have different stories and different views. And I have experienced different things while I lived in my apartment. The people who live in these houses might have different story just like me. That is why this picture represents me.
This photo represents that feeling when you realize there was homework. Your hart drops and you start to panic. I used the fill the frame technique to emphasize the feeling. When looking at this picture you think that I am surprised. I think that emotions tell a story because you wonder why someone feels the way they do. You as questions such as what is happening and where is that happening. I think that this picture also demonstrates the portrait technique because this is a picture of a person and the definition of portrait according to www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/portrait is a painting, drawing, or photograph of a person that usually only includes the person's head and shoulders. Therefore this is obviously a portrait. This picture definitely represents a personality. This picture has a very high contrast to add interest.
