Their authorship of "The Life and Works of Thomas Sully" which they recently published preeminently qualified them to select this Exhibition. The Academy acknowledges its gratitude to Albert Cook Myers and Ernest Spofford of Philadelphia for assistance in the preparation of the biographical notes in the Catalogue. The information herein contained will be of use not only to students of national and local history but also to those interested in the work of Sully. Finally, the Academy acknowledges its gratitude to its many friend s who have loaned their priceless possessions for exhibition to the public. Without such generous cooperation the show would have been impossible. Probably no greater compliment has ever been paid to the Academy tha n the universal and prompt acceptance of its request s for the loan of family portraits. Many of these heirlooms have never been seen by the public before and probably will never be seen again. Some of them were taken from walls upon which they had been hanging for many decades. Other works in this exhibition have been loaned by the United States Government and by public and private institutions upon the Academy's mere promise to care for them and return them safely to the lenders. No exhibition of Sully's works such as is now shown the public has been gathered before and it can be safely said that probably no such exhibition can ever be gathered again. • 3 JOHN FREDERICK LEWIS, President . THOMAS SULLY A Brief Sketch of His Life Thomas Sully, youngest son and one of a family of nine children of whom four were boys and five girls, came into this world at Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England, in the year 1783. In 1792, when he was but nine years old, his parents, Matthew and Sarah Chester Sully, moved their large family to America, settling in what was no longer Charlestown, but Charleston, S. C., there better to carry on their profession as actors. At the age of twelve, young Sully was placed in business with an insurance broker, but the lad showed so little inclination for this and such a deepl y rooted desire for drawing, that his parents took him away from his commercial surroundings, and allowed him to substitute, in its stead, an esthetic atmosphere. It seems that young Sully's arti stic tastes had already been kindled a few years before, when he was attending the same school as Charles Fraser, afterwards well known as a miniature painter, and to Fraser is attributed Sully's first instruction in the rudiments of art. Thus did the embryo artist find himself embarked on a new career which he was never to forsake. On leaving the office of his insurance patron, Sully studied art under his brother-in-law, one Mr. Belzons, a truly temperamental Frenchman with whom he also found a home. However, this arrangement did not last long, for Belzons, lacking in ordinary patience, unfortunately proved himself to be a very intolerant teacher, with the result that, following a violent scene, his young relative pupil deserted him. This -was in 1799, when Thomas was sixteen years old. His parents already having died, young Sully, now temporarily homeless and without means, seemed destined to have his career ruptured by an event which never actually did take place. He was about to go before the mast, when fortunately for him and the world at large, Lawrence Sully, his eldest brother and himself a miniature and device painter who was then living in Richmond, Va. , took him under his protective wing and · became his instructor. In this way, the two brothers, Thomas and Lawrence, were associated with one another in both Richmond and Norfolk, Va., until the latter's death at Richmond, late in 1803. It is significant, at this point, to mention that on May the 10th, 1801, Thomas Sully painted his first miniature from life, a likeness of his brother Chester Sully, and thereby hangs the tale as to the commencement of his invaluable "Account of Pictures" which is left to us as a very business like record, particularly for an artist, of his paintings from that day on. The following year, s though meagre of results, marked a new ac hievement in the life of the young artist. It was his first attempt in oil colors, a small portrait of William Armistead. In 1805, Sully married his widowed sister-in-l aw, whom, with her three children, he had been supporting since his brother's death two years before. One year later, on the advice of Thoma s Abthorpe Cooper, the distinguished English actor, we find him moving from Richmond to New York. This proved to be the turning point in his career, for Cooper lost no time in introducing him to many members of the theatrical profession, not a few of whom sat for him. And so it was that, about this time, our rising portrait painter, surmounting all obstacles, began to execute his canvases with the systematic regularity so characteristic of him, throughout the remainder of his long and brilliant career. Wherever he goes now, he is met with interest and admiration, and shortly after moving to New York, Sully meets, in Boston, Gilbert Stuart the greatest painter of the day. Stuart gives him much encouragement and advice. A few years later, Sully moved to Philadelphia, there to live until the end of his days. He fast was building up an enviable record as a portrait painter. For the next thirty years of his life, Philadelphia's most distinguished citizens flocked to him to have their portraits painted. Men prominent in private and in public walks of life, and ladies of high and noble birth, noted for their feminine charm and beauty, came to him. It is with the latter that he is at his best, portraying a delicacy and lifelike fines se unparalleled. For some years, Sully had planned a trip to Europe for further study, but his brother's death and the family responsibilities which came with it, had prevented him. It was not until 1809, that he first realized this ambition. His funds permitted a stay in England of only nine months; but twenty-nine years later when at the very height of his career, as a truly crowning event, he was commissioned by the Society of the Sons of St. George, at Philadelphia, to go to England and paint a portrait of Queen Victoria. This he did , and then journeyed to Paris for a short stay, whereupon he returned home. In the declining years of his life, Sully spent most of his time p ainting the heads of children, many of which are fine examples of art. For fifteen years, he served as a Director of The Pennsylvani a Academy of the Fine Arts, and in 1842 he declined the office of President; desiring to avoid all situations of official rank. His life work numbered over twenty-six hundred paintings. He died in Philadelphia, November 5th, 1872. Sully studied under Gilbert Stuart. In London he is said to have painted under West and also under Lawrence and his work reflects more the influence of Lawrence than that of any other painter. His style is peculiarly his own but with unmistakable traces of the influence of both Stuart and Lawrence. The purity of his flesh tones can be compared with those of Stuart while his poses, his composition and his color are ' n some respects more artistic and in others more decorative than either Stuart or Lawrence. He always got the best out of his subjects and while many of his portraits are almost too pretty, others are surprising in their strength 6 'I and vitality, and some are so essentially modern in compos1t1on and execution that an artists' jury of today would almost pronounce them contemporaneous work. Among Sully's most important paintings, are the full length portrait of Lafayette, belonging to the City of Philadelphia; George Frederick Cooke as Richard III, belonging to the Academy's permanent collection; "Washington Crossing the Delaware," belonging to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; and the full length portrait of Queen Victoria in her royal robes, ascending the throne, belonging to the Society of the Sons of St. George. His full length portrait of General Jonathan Williamsowned by the U. S. Military Academy at West Point and which the Academy is so fortunate as to have in the Memorial Exhibit-is a masterpiece. It is interesting to note that the full length portrait of Lafayette, now belonging to the City oi Philadelphia, at one time belonged to The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The latter institution, with the artist's consent (for he had presented it to the Academy when the original plan of purchasing it for the City-the money to be raised by subscription -had failed), transferred it to the City in exchange for West's painting of "Paul and Barnabas." No sketch of the artist's life would be complete, however brief, without paying a glowing tribute to the man himself. He was a man who not only endeared himself, through his brush, to many who never knew him personally, but also because of his unusually high code of honor, his self denial in behalf of his large family (there were nine children by his marriage), and those friends to whom, from time to time, he became indebted, and because of his indefatigable efforts to brush aside all obstacles in his path to success. Furthermore, he always was ready to aid and advise the younger artists of his day. He was devoted to his wife and children and had a most happy married life. Little wonder is it that Cooper, Stuart, Wilcocks, West, Lawrence and many others were ever willing and ready to help Sully not only with constructive advice on art, but financially! Little wonder is it that the City of Philadelphia, in the closing years of Sully's life, when an ordinance to widen Ranstead Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets had been passed, repealed this act when it was found that such an undertaking would necessitate the demolishing of the old artist's home! 7 PLAK OF THE ACADEMY GALLERIES The Thomas Sully Memorial Exhibition occupies Gallerie s A, K, I, H, G, F, North Corridor, North Transept and the Rotunda. 8 GALLERY A NOTE B.-F., FOLLOvVED BY THE NUMERAL, REFERS TO THE DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF SULLY'S PAINTINGS, AS NUMBERED IN EDWARD BIDDLE AND MANTLE FIELDING, THE LIFE AND WORKS OF THOMAS SULLY (PHILADELPHIA, 1921). 9 No. 1.
