      • Nascimento: 3 de dezembro de 1755, Saunderstown, Rhode Island
      • Falecimento: 9 de julho de 1828, Boston, Massachusetts
      • Nacionalidade: Americano
      • Movimento: Neoclassicismo
      • Conhecido por: Retratística, particularmente retratos de figuras proeminentes da história inicial da América.

      Primeira Infância e Formação

      • Gilbert Stuart nasceu em uma família com raíções escocesas; seu pai, também chamado Gilbert, era um inventor que estabeleceu o primeiro moinho de tabaco em Rhode Island.
      • Seu talento artístico emergiu ainda muito jovem, demonstrando habilidade desde a infância.
      • Aos 14 anos, ele pintou "Os Spaniels do Dr. Hunter", revelando uma promessa precoce.
      • Ele viajou para a Escócia por volta de 1771 para estudar com Cosmo Alexander, mas retornou após a morte de Alexander em 1775.
      • Um treinamento mais profundo ocorreu em Londres com Benjamin West, um proeminente pintor americano que residia na Inglaterra, de 1775 a 1780. Este período foi crucial para o desenvolvimento de seu estilo artístico e para ganhar reconhecimento dentro da Royal Academy.

      Carreira Artística e Grandes Obras

      • A carreira de Stuart enfrentou desafios durante a Revolução Americana, o que o levou a se mudar para a Inglaterra em 1775.
      • Ele alcançou o sucesso inicial com "O Patinador" (1782), um retrato que estabeleceu sua reputação.
      • Sua obra mais famosa é o retrato inacabado de George Washington, conhecido como o Retrato Athenaeum (iniciado em 1796). Esta imagem tornou-se icônica, aparecendo na moeda dos EUA e em selos postais. Stuart produziu inúmeras cópias deste retrato para patronos em toda a América e Europa.
