| A genre, historical, religious and portrait painter, Edwin White was
especially known for his history paintings that responded to the desire
of many collectors to have American subjects. Among these was Washington Resigning His Commission,
(1858) which recorded the Commander-in-Chief leaving the army after his
victories that led to the forming of the American government. The
work was commissioned by the Maryland Legislature, and White was the
winner of their competition (showing 500 of 4205 characters). |
