19th century school after Ary Scheffer (1795 - 1858) Full-length portrait of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette (1757-1834) Oil on canvas 51.5 x 40 cm Provenance : - An apartment in Isle Saint Louis - Paris Ary Scheffer's painting is in the Collection of the U.S. House of Representatives on Capitol Hill. Another bust portrait is in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington. "The artist Ary Scheffer offered this portrait to the House of Representatives in honor of General Lafayette's American tour from 1824 to 1825. And it wasn't just a beautiful gift, it was a real surprise. In January 1825, the House of Representatives displayed its new work of art in the Capitol Rotunda. Newspapers described the portrait as "as large as life, and... the best portrait we have ever seen. Its fidelity to the venerable original is, indeed, most admirable". The portrait remained in the rotunda during Lafayette's 13-month stay in the United States. Artists from all over the country wanted to paint his portrait. Those who couldn't get the busy general to sit still made copies of the Chamber portrait instead. Easels and pallets of paint cluttered the rotunda. Kentucky native Matthew Jouett was one of these artists. The Kentucky state legislature asked him to paint Lafayette for the Capitol. Jouett arrived in Washington, but too late. The general had already left town, but had left behind a message saying he had a solution. Jouett could paint a copy of the House portrait, and when Lafayette's tour arrived in Kentucky, he would give the young man an hour's time with him to "correct" his version. Lafayette knew how useful the Chamber portrait was. Its availability, combined with the fact that he knew it was his favorite image, made it extremely popular. Lafayette gave it an even wider audience by distributing engravings of the portrait wherever he went. Local printers made pirated copies for every imaginable souvenir. The portrait was even used on coins. All the engravers who supplied American banks had Lafayette's images available to their customers, and the portrait was used by banks in 27 states. Half a century after his revolutionary fervor brought him to America, Lafayette returned to become the first foreign dignitary to address the country's Congress and appear on the country's currency." (https://history.house.gov/Blog/Detail/15032391921) During this trip to the United States in 1824/1825, La Fayette was welcomed on several occasions by the CINCINNATI Society.
