John Singleton Copley
John Singleton Copley (July 3, 1738 – September 9, 1815) was an Anglo-American painter, active in both colonial America and England. He was suspected to be born in
Boston,
Province of Massachusetts Bay, to Richard and
Mary Singleton Copley, both
Anglo-Irish. After becoming well-established as a
portrait painter of the wealthy in colonial
New England, he moved to London in 1774, never returning to America. In London, he met considerable success as a portraitist for the next two decades, and also painted a number of large
history paintings, which were innovative in their readiness to depict modern subjects and modern dress. His later years were less successful, and he died heavily in debt. He was father of
John Copley, 1st Baron Lyndhurst.
