EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting by John Singleton Copley depicts Myles Cooper, a prominent figure in American history. Born in 1735, Cooper was not only an Anglican priest but also the founder of Kings College in New York, which later became Columbia University. The portrait showcases his intelligence and fine artistry with intricate details such as his preaching band collar and robe. Cooper's influence as an educator and president of Kings College is evident through this remarkable artwork. His dedication to spreading knowledge and fostering intellectual growth shines through his piercing gaze captured by Copley's brushstrokes. As one of the founding fathers of higher education in America, he played a crucial role in shaping Manhattan's academic landscape. The painting transports us back to the 18th century when Christianity held immense significance for society. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that religious leaders had on both spiritual and educational realms during this era. Copley's masterful portrayal immortalizes Myles Cooper, allowing us to appreciate his contributions to academia and spirituality even centuries later. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating the legacy of an extraordinary man who dedicated his life to enlightenment and progress.
