How Ida Solved the Puzzle |
While opening the page, something told me to take Tony [Knapp]'s approach from 2 weeks ago and as soon as I saw the image, I closed it. Never saw a peep of the questions, in fact, didn't even see the 4th of July reference (and clue). All I noticed was a set of teeth and what looked like a description of them, which indicated that they were being exhibited. Given that, I googled "teeth in a museum". And several images of all types of dental displays in all sorts of settings. Scrolling down I found a picture of the same set of teeth and opened the page. It was about a GW temporary exhibit in the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa 3 years ago (on 4th of July, of course). But once knowing that it was GW's teeth, I googled them directly and found the Mt Vernon page dedicated to his dental issues. Ida Sanchez |

Rembrandt Peale 1799 |

Rembrandt Peale (February 22, 1778 – October 3, 1860) was an American artist and museum keeper. A prolific portrait painter, he was especially acclaimed for his likenesses of presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Peale's style was influenced by French Neoclassicism after a stay in Paris in his early thirties. Rembrandt Peale was born the third of six surviving children (eleven had died) to his mother, Rachel Brewer, and father, Charles Willson Peale in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, on February 22, 1778. The father, Charles, also a notable artist, taught all of his children to paint scenery and portraiture, and tutored Rembrandt in the arts and sciences. Rembrandt |
began drawing at the age of eight. A year after his mother’s death and the remarriage of his father, Peale left the school of the arts, and completed his first self-portrait at the age of 13. The canvas displays the young artist's early mastery. The clothes, however, give the notion that Peale over-exaggerated what a 13 year old would look like, and Peale's hair curls like the hair of a Renaissance angel. Later in his life, Peale "often showed this painting to young beginners, to encourage them to go from 'bad' to better..." In July of 1787, Charles Willson Peale introduced his son Rembrandt to George Washington, and the young aspirant artist watched his father paint the future president. In 1795, at the age of 17, Rembrandt painted an aging Washington, making him appear far more aged than in reality. The portrait was well received, and Rembrandt had made his debut. Read more... |
