      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In Colonial New England, it was fashionable for wealthy families to hire painters to create portraits of their family often and extensively. These portrait painters were referred to as “limners” and in general were untrained and unnamed painters working in the early American colonies. These limners would also be hired to paint ornamental objects such as clocks, signs and even landscapes.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/limner/Limner_PortraitOfCatherineAdams.jpg" alt="Portrait of Catherine Adams unsigned"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Catherine Adams. Oil on canvas: 27 by 22 inches. Unsigned Courtesy R. H. Love Galleries, Chicago, Illinois</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Paintings by these untrained and early American Colonial painters are generally unsigned, making it impossible for the untrained eye to decipher who the artist was. Sometimes through extensive research and testing it is even impossible for art historians and experts to determine who created a painting. Thus, the term limner is applied to these mysterious early American painters.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/limner/Limner_TheBeardsleyLimner.jpg" alt="Mrs. Hezekiah Beardsley The Beardsley Limner" width="auto"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">One of the most famous of the New England limners was The Freake Limner. These paintings were created in a decorative Elizabethan style, and all are attributed to the same artist. Nothing is known of this artist except that he was likely a Dutch itinerant living in New York and often working and painting in Boston. This painter showed similarities in all of the paintings attributed to him, such as the size of the canvases (approximately 42 by 36 inches). The composition of his sitters, as well as the treatment of their expressions and posture is also strikingly similar in each of the paintings attributed to him.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Mrs. Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">This same painter is also attributed to painting the Gibbs family, also of Boston.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Margaret Gibbs</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">There are a multitude of other limners for families under the names Frost, Pepperell, Schuyler and Denison just to name a few.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/limner/Limner_MissDenison.jpg" alt="Miss Denison 1790"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Through proper research and art authentication techniques, paintings once attributed to just a “limner” could possibly be attributed to better known early American artists, such as Nehemiah Partridge or Thomas Smith. One thing that stands out among these paintings is their consistently naïve style. This is due to the fact that most limners were thought to have been self taught, receiving little or no formal artistic instruction. These limners left behind great mysteries for art historians to solve, leaving a great number of early American paintings and portraiture in their wake, some now in public collections, but many of which probably still reside in New England family estates. Still wondering about a family portrait from colonial American times? <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/contact/contact1.php">Contact us</a>…it could be attributed to one of these limners.</p>
