Rare Peale Painting Loaned to MuseumSeveral early 19th-century

American artists painted ide-alized female nudes that they

justified for public display by givingthe works moralizing titles drawnfrom classical mythology, theJewish or Christian bibles, or secu-lar literature and poetry. Thisintriguing painting of a winsomefemale nude, loaned to theMuseum from a private collectionin honor of the Museum’s 75thanniversary, was attributed in1994 by the art historian Carol E.Soltis to the renownedPhiladelphia portrait and historypainter Rembrandt Peale (1778-1860). The painting, displayed forwhat might possibly be the firsttime in a public art museum,offers a tantalizing but presentlyincomplete view of Peale’s questfor notoriety and financial gain witheroticized subject matter.

During the conservation treatmentundertaken on this picture shortlybefore being attributed toRembrandt Peale, it was discovered that the work’s original nude figurehad subsequently been paintedover, probably later in the 19th cen-tury, by a diaphanous blouse andgreen skirt. The unknown artist who“clothed” the figure also covered the red cloth under the figure’s right armwith a darker color and added a grape vine in her left hand. The originalpainting reappeared after these later modifications were removed.

Carol Soltis has noted that this work is an example of the kind of senti-mental work, usually medium in size, and referred to in the 18th and early19th century as a “fancy picture,” that Peale painted from time to time,chiefly during the last two decades of his life. More significantly, accord-ing to Soltis, this painting is the only known example of Peale’s career-long interest in painting pictures of female nudes.

In 1815, his erotic, life-size figure painting of the mythological loversJupiter and Io provoked such vituperation in the Baltimore, Maryland,

press that he radically altered thework and renamed it The Dream ofLove. In Western art history thereare several illustrious paintingsthat depict Jupiter rapturouslyembracing the beautiful river god-dess Io. In 1855, five years beforehis death, Peale lamented in thejournal Crayon that his revisedinterpretation of this mythologicalstory provided him “some reputa-tion, and sufficient profit; butbeing sold a few years after, itwas destroyed by fire from thecarelessness of the exhibitor, inBroadway [New York City].”Unfortunately, no image of whatthe picture looked like has yetbeen found.

Another fancy piece that Pealepainted at the end of his career,titled Musidora (after the nymphthat represents summer in JamesThomson’s 1730 poem, TheSeasons) also may have depicteda female nude, but this work wasalso destroyed in a fire at a com-

mercial art gallery in Philadelphia late in 1850 or early in 1851. Historicalexhibition records indicate thatPeale displayed what must havebeen yet another version ofMusidora in a public exhibition that

took place in Detroit in 1853, but that painting is now lost. The titles ofother works that Peale is known to have painted suggest that one ormore of them might also have depicted female nudes; however, none ofthese paintings has been identified. Future research may determinewhether the painting currently on display at the Museum is the lostDetroit Musidora, or another of Peale’s later fancy pictures or even, per-haps, a late-career repainting on a smaller scale of his notorious TheDream of Love. The publication of this painting for the first time ever inthe Institute’s Bulletin will give the picture wider circulation and, hopefully,help to resolve some of the questions presently surrounding this work.
