John Singleton Copley (1738 – 1815)
John Singleton Copley (1738-1815) var en pioner indenfor amerikansk kunst, kendt for sine detaljerede portrætter og historiebilleder, der fanger den koloniale æraens ånd.
Richard Dana (1700–1772) was a justice of the province of Massachusetts and a leading figure of the Boston bar. During the early stages of the Revolution, the city depended on his sage legal advice. He was a member of the committee that investigated the Boston Massacre in 1770, at about the same time he posed for Copley. As a bold enhancement of the powerful portrait, Copley selected a carved-and-gilded Rococo frame. The frame is personalized with the Dana family’s coat of arms: three stags separated by a chevron, with a fox at the crest and Cavendo tutus (“By caution secure”) as the motto.
