Summary
DescriptionGeorgeDavenport.jpg |
English: George Davenport (1783-1845). Note: Portrait of Colonel George Davenport. Davenport, who founded the city that bears his name along with Antoine LeClaire, had been a prosperous English fur trader who came to the area in 1810 to arrange for supplies for soldiers at Fort Armstrong and stayed on, settling on the banks of the Mississippi and becoming one of the most influential men in the territory. The portrait is believed to have been painted shortly before Davenport was killed by river pirates at his Arsenal Island home in July of 1845. Britt portrays the Colonel holding a rolled parchment city map of Davenport. The Colonel commissioned a portrait for his family that now resides in the State Archives in Des Moines. Britt painted an exact copy of the commission for himself. It was one of the few possessions Britt transported in 1852 (unframed and rolled up) by oxcart all the way to Oregon where it hung in the study of his Jacksonville home until his death (The Figge Art Museum ). |
