Room for Revolution: George Washington and His Philadelphia Friends
March 16,2007 —August 30,2007
Charles Willson Peale's George Washington at Princeton is on view at the Museum which was lent from a private collection.This visually striking and finely made lifesize portrait (肖像) records Washington's 6foot2 inch figure in a pose highlighting strength, composure，
and elegance. It is put up in a room neighboring
to the Powel House parlor，a period room from one of Philadelphia's greatest eighteenthcentury private homes,
where Washington was frequently entertained by his
friends，Samuel and Elizabeth Powel. Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphia's finest craftsmen，such as Thomas Affleck and John Aitken. Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia.
Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peale's painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote Washington's reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution, then in progress. Later，during Europe's Napoleonic Wars，a Spanish duke with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture. At that time he added the complicated carved caption to it, which describes Washington as“a liberator of his country who
abandoned absolute power.”
