John Singelton Copley, easily considered the finest portrait painter in Colonial America, was born in Boston of Anglo-Irish parents. His prodigious talent appears to have come naturally and without formal training. Copley rose from the son of a tobacco settler to move into Boston's highest social circles. He painted portraits of many of the city's influential men and women, including Samuel Adams, Mercy Otis, and Paul Revere. Learn about the life and career of his talented artist. Led by art historian Mary Woodward, who is a guide at several Historic New England properties. She previously served as Public Programs Coordinator and Educator at the Concord Museum. Woodward has 40+ years of experience in museums of all shapes and sizes, from the comprehensive collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art to the one-room log cabin birthplace of President James K. Polk.
