520    "Unexpectedly, John Singleton Copley illuminated Boston's 
       colonial sky," writes one of the authors of this volume. 
       The son of poor Irish immigrants, Copley (1738-1815) 
       became the supreme portraitist of the colonial era before 
       he left his native Boston for England in 1774. Primarily 
       in Boston, and to some extent in New York, Copley depicted
       contemporary merchant princes, clergymen, and military 
       officers and their wives, as well as Paul Revere, Samuel 
       Adams, John Hancock, and other political leaders. His 
       splendidly painted portraits provided his sitters, 
       Loyalists and revolutionaries alike, with the opulent 
       images they craved and brought him spectacular material 
       success. 
520 8  This book, which accompanies an important exhibition of 
       Copley's work organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
       New York, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is the 
       first major study of the artist published since 1966. Like
       the exhibition, it focuses on the large-scale paintings, 
       miniatures, and pastels Copley executed before he moved to
       London, on the theory that his American oeuvre is unified 
       by the circumstances of its production and is 
       stylistically and intellectually distinct from his English
       pictures.
