Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page research paper that examines the work of American artists Samuel F.B. Morse and William Sidney Mount, who were contemporaries, but who took very different stances in regards to American art. The writer argues that an examination of Morse's "Gallery of the Louvre" (1832-33) and Mount's "The Painter's Triumph (1838) clearly demonstrates their differing pedagogical views. Morse saw the role of the artist as an interpreter of culture while Mount saw the American artist primarily as an observer of the American way of life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

viewed online, the representations that this writer/tutor found were typically not large enough to identify all of the paintings. However, Da Vincis Mona Lisa is identifiable. The viewer has the
impression that many of the works are of kings and queens, the aristocracy of European history. The entire scene appears to be in a golden light, a feature that further
