john smibert (1688 – 1751)
John Smibert (1688-1751) was the first academically trained artist in British America, pioneering portraiture in Colonial Boston. Known for his Baroque style and influential collection of Old Masters, he shaped early American art & mentored Copley.
Hannah Pemberton (1715–1774), a daughter of James and Hannah Penhallow Pemberton, was born in Boston. In 1739, she became the second wife of Benjamin Colman, a Boston merchant also painted by Smibert.
