DiasshowThe Banjo Player
William Sidney Mount (1807 – 1868)
William Sidney Mount var en pioner inden for amerikansk genremaleri og kendt for sine realistiske skildringer af Long Islands landlige liv og musikalske øjeblikke. Hans kunst udforsker menneskelighedens enkelhed og ærlighed, hvilket sikrer hans værker en plads i kunsthistorien som et ikonisk udtryk for amerikansk kultur og følelser.
Over the years, Mount’s depiction of African Americans underwent an evolution, becoming more sensitive and less prone to the stereotypical depictions he produced in earlier paintings, such as Rustic Dance After a Sleigh Ride (1830). The Banjo Player was a major work, one of the largest portraits Mount completed, and was commissioned by William Schaus for the firm of Goupil & Company. There has been some speculation on the identity of the sitter, who may have been George Freeman, a worker for John Brewster. In his diary, Mount mentions that “I painted the Banjo player in eight days (16 sittings), two sittings a day.”
