  Art Museum Educator. Dr. Norris will give a talk about the greatest and m
 ost influential painter in Colonial America\, John Singleton Copley (1738-

 re both striking in their precise realism and in the importance of some of
  their sitters\, such as Paul Revere\, John Hancock\, and Samuel Adams. Ho
 wever\, rising political turmoil in Colonial America\, along with Copley
 ’s dissatisfaction with the limited art scene there\, brought him to Lon

 istic\, and dramatic scenes of contemporary history\, often accompanied by
  prints to offer to a mass market.\n\nSponsored by the Friends of the Ewin
