| Caption- Abstract | <i>George Washington</i>. ca. 1779-81. Charles Wilson Peale (1741-1827). Oil on canvas; 95 x 61 3/4 in. (241.3 x 156.8 cm). . On January 18, 1779, the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania passed a resolution commissioning a portrait of George Washington for the Council Chamber and selected Charles Willson Peale as the artist. In preparation, Peale traveled to the Princeton and Trenton battlefields in February of 1779 to make sketches for the background. The original portrait, the full-length version now in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (in Philadelphia), was a tremendous success and Peale completed numerous copies for royal palaces abroad, each time updating the general's military dress.

Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after neg |
