Rembrandt Peale (1778-1860) was an American painter and portraitist of prominent celebrities. His father was a Classicist sculptor and like his brothers, he was named after the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. Peale studied at the Royal Academy in London. After his studies, he went to Paris, where he sought inspiration from Jacques-Louis David. He was offered the position of court painter for Napoleon. Frequently, he painted portraits of American presidents George Washington and William Henry Harrison, which earned praise from critics. He founded the museum in Baltimore, which, already at the time, was illuminated in a revolutionary way – by gas light. In his life, he painted more than 600 paintings of historically important people. He died in 1860 in Philadelphia.
