EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases General Thomas Gage, a prominent figure in American history during the late 18th century. Painted by John Singleton Copley around 1768, this oil on canvas mounted on masonite artwork measures an impressive 127x101 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. General Gage, depicted in his military uniform, exudes authority and leadership as he stands amidst a picturesque landscape. With a commanding presence, he points forward with determination, symbolizing his role as a battle-ready leader. The three-quarter length composition captures his stoic expression and confident posture. Gage's significance lies not only in his portrayal but also in his historical contributions. As military governor of Montreal and its surrounding areas, he played a crucial role during the tumultuous times leading up to the American Revolution. In 1763, Gage assumed command as the chief of the British Army in America. This print allows us to delve into an important era of American history while appreciating Copley's artistic talent. It serves as a reminder of General Thomas Gage's influence and impact on both sides of the conflict that would shape a nation.
