Dating daguerreotypes - cleared
While Morse is best known as the inventor of the telegraph and his namesake code, he first achieved success as one of the best portrait painters of his generation. He was also an art professor who wanted to bring knowledge of European art to America at a time when there were very few public museums in the United States. His monumental canvas, Gallery of the Louvre , was his attempt to do just that. Morse labored for 14 months at the Louvre, making individual copies of paintings by Da Vinci, Titian and Rubens and exploring various approaches to the treatment of color, light, line and composition. He populated the gallery with several figures admiring or studying art, and included himself at the center, instructing a female student who is copying a painting. Tenacity and Technology Throughout his career Morse was creative across many different media and explored how art and technology could transform communication. On his sail home to America, he sketched early designs for his telegraph machine on the back of a canvas stretcher. On a return trip to Paris in to secure a patent for his telegraph, Morse witnessed another new invention, the daguerreotype, the first practical form of photography. Immediately grasping its potential as a tool for faithful transcription, Morse learned the new medium and taught the process to many others in the United States. dating daguerreotypesForums New posts Search forums.
