Peale, James
American, 1749-1831
Painter, brother of Charles Willson Peale. Charles encouraged him to become a painter; James also worked as a frame-maker for his brother until the Revolution, in which he served as a lieutenant. From 1779 James shared Charles's practice, specializing in miniatures. His early work, occasionally confused with Charles's, shows his brother's influence. After 1794, his style became clearly his own: more delicate with subtle colour harmonies, softened outlines and free handling; it may be distinguished by a faint violet tone in the shadows and the inconspicuous signature 'IP'. His miniatures of male subjects are frequently superior to his portraits of women, for example Benjamin Harwood (1799; Baltimore, Mus. & Lib. MD Hist.), but his meticulous attention to costume and his success in imparting colour and sparkle to skin and eyes, Related Paintings of Peale, James :. | Fools Have the Most Fun | The Elysian Fields at Audley End,Essex,from the Tea House Bridge | Still life floral, all kinds of reality flowers oil painting 312 | The Entombment | Junta of the Philippines | Related Artists: Henri Royerpainted Ex-voto in 1898 Marmaduke CradockBritish
