EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of William Buckland, a prominent British architect from the colonial era. Painted by Charles Willson Peale in 1789, this oil on canvas piece measures 69.9x93 cm and is housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA. The intriguing aspect of this portrait lies in its backstory - Buckland tragically passed away before his likeness could be completed. However, upon the request of his daughter, Peale took it upon himself to finish the painting posthumously. The result is a stunning depiction that immortalizes Buckland's legacy as an influential figure in architecture. Intriguingly, within the frame of this artwork lies another layer of history: plans for the Matthias Hammond House rest on a table beside him. This detail adds depth to our understanding of Buckland's work and highlights his involvement with designing notable structures in colonial Maryland and Virginia during that time. As we gaze into William Buckland's eyes, we are transported back to a pivotal period in American history - one marked by revolution and transformation. This portrait serves as a testament to both his individual accomplishments and captures an essence of America's architectural heritage.
