John Singleton Copley, 1738-1815, was an American-born painter, famous for his portrait paintings of important figures in colonial New England. His paintings depicted in particular middle-class subjects. He was considered as the greatest and most influential painter in colonial America, producing about 350 oils art on canvas. With his startling likenesses of persons and things, he came to define a realist art tradition in America. Boston's Copley Square, Copley Square Hotel and Copley Plaza bear his name, as does Copley Township, Summit County, Ohio. -- The Copyright of Scripts is Reserved by Toperfect.
