Rembrandt Peale

Happy Birthday Rembrandt Peale!! We looked at this artists’ brother’s work a few days ago. Rembrandt Peale was born in 1774 to portrait artist Charles Peale. Rembrandt followed his father’s footsteps and became a portrait painter as well. In the portrait of Thomas Jefferson, we see a precursor of Romanticism in the gentle pose, even tone quality and expressive brushstrokes.
