John Singleton Copley : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Singleton Copley
John Singleton Copley (1738〔Allan Cunningham gives the date of his birth as July 3, 1737 (''The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters, Sculptors, and Architects'', 1830–33, V, 162), but the published ''Boston Records'' have no entry confirming this date. Copley himself wrote on September 12, 1766, to Peter Pelham, his step-brother, that he had had "resolution enough to live a bachelor to the age of twenty-eight" ("Letters and Papers of John Singleton Copley and Henry Pelham", p. 48, ''Mass. Hist. Soc. Colls.'', vol. LXXI (1914)). His daughter, Elizabeth Clarke Greene (in a letter quoted by William Dunlap, ''A History of the Rise and Progress of the Arts of Design in the United States'', vol. I, p. 119. Ed. F. W. Bayley and C. E. Goodspeed, 1918) spoke of her father as "born in 1738." Worthington C. Ford, editor of the Copley-Pelham correspondence, and Frank W. Bayley, a biographer, accept the evidence as indicating that the artist "was born in 1738, and not in 1737 as usually stated" ("Copley-Pelham Letters," p. 48). James Thomas Flexner, ''John Singleton Copley'' (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1948), p. 4, gives the "probable" birthdate as July 3, 1738.〕–1815) was an American painter, active in both colonial America and England. He was probably born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Richard and Mary Singleton Copley, both Anglo-Irish. He is famous for his portrait paintings of important figures in colonial New England, depicting in particular middle-class subjects. His paintings were innovative in their tendency to depict artifacts relating to these individuals' lives. ==Biography==
