Dr. Carol Soltis is a project associate curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, author of The Art of the Peales in the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Adaptations and Innovations, and coauthor of Thomas Sully: Painted Performance. In this donation are Dr. Soltis' research files on the various works of London-born artist Thomas Sully (1783-1872), who flourished in Philadelphia. The collection contains files on Sully' individual subject paintings, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Rosebud, and Mother and Child; his portraits of Anne Biddle Hopkinson, Rebecca Gratz, Andrew Jackson, Francis T. S. Darley, members of the Sully family including himself, and many others; and materials on the exhibition, "Thomas Sully: Painted Performance." Also in the collection is a binder of photographs of painting by Sully in private hands, public collections, and sold at auction; records of exhibitions of his works and Sully material in other repositories, such as Winterthur; a binder of photocopies of contemporary evaluations of Sully; a typescript of Sully "Hints for Pictures" (original in Beinecke Library of Yale University); and a typescript/copy of Sully's "Journal of Activities, May 1792-1793, 1799-1846, including a trip to England" (original in New York Public Library). |
