Inspired by JFK’s Official Portrait

President Kennedy's official White House Portrait (left), and one of the reference photographs used to paint it (right).

When Jacqueline Kennedy commissioned artist Aaron Shikler to paint the official portraits of herself and President Kennedy in 1970, he faced the issue of having to paint JFK posthumously.

According to Shikler, Jackie said, “I don’t want him to look the way everybody else makes him look, with the bags under his eyes and that penetrating gaze. I’m tired of that image.”

Shikler ultimately found inspiration from a photo of Ted Kennedy with his arms crossed and head bowed, kneeling at JFK’s gravesite.

“I painted him with his head bowed, not because I think of him as a martyr, but because I wanted to show him as a president who was a thinker,” said Shikler.

After presenting a series of sketches to Jackie, she would end up choosing this image of her late husband, rather than the other sketches.

The Peacemakers

Artist: George Peter Alexander Healy (American, 1813-1894) 

Genre: Portrait

Date Created: 1868

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Type: Historical Depiction

Collection: White House, Washington, DC

The title is the only clue to the import of this solemn painting, a prelude to the end of the Civil War. Seated in the after cabin of the Union steamer River Queen are Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln, and Rear Adm. David D. Porter. Less than a week before the fall of Petersburg, Virginia, the four men met to discuss the nature of the peace terms to follow. The figures in The Peacemakers seem strangely isolated. Meaning is embodied in their persons rather than their actions. Here, the separateness of each man is reinforced by the paneling and windows behind him. All heads are on the vertical, save Lincoln's. His inturned pose and brooding expression serve to differentiate him further. Behind him glows a rainbow, emblematic of the approaching peace.
