EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical figure, George Washington (1732-1799), in a unique light. Titled "Washington the Farmer" it depicts him amidst the lush fields of Mont Vernon, his plantation in Fairfax County, Virginia. The lithograph, created in 1853 by Junius Brutus Stearns based on his painting, offers a glimpse into Washington's life beyond politics. In the lower left corner of this artwork are John and Martha Parke Custis, Washington's stepchildren. Their presence adds depth to the image and highlights the familial aspect of Washington's life as a farmer. The juxtaposition between this scene and another anonymous painting from the 19th century displayed at La Rochelle's New World Museum is striking. In that painting, black individuals can be seen working diligently under their owners' supervision in an American field. This contrast serves as a reminder of America's complex history with slavery during that era. Overall, this print captures not only George Washington's role as a prominent political figure but also his connection to nature and agriculture. It invites viewers to reflect on both his personal life and broader societal context while appreciating Junius Brutus Stearns' artistic interpretation.
