Current mood: perched and unbothered.

Now on view, see this work in "By Design: The Worlds of Betsy James Wyeth," a special exhibition that explores Betsy's lasting legacy in visual art and landscape and the creative partnership she shared with her husband, Andrew Wyeth. Betsy was a designer of complex environments and her practice extended to the restoration and adaptive reuse of dozens of historical buildings in Pennsylvania and Maine; the architectural design of new structures; an eclectic collecting practice that shaped highly original interior spaces; and the creation of large-format immersive environmental designs in the service of a consistent vision across two states and decades of practice.

Today’s agenda: coffee, conversation, and a few very serious matters.

In this painting, Howard Pyle gives us an imagined view of an episode at the end of the American Revolution. Titled “Benjamin Franklin and Richard Oswald Discussing the Treaty of Peace at Paris,” diplomat and founding father Benjamin Franklin sits behind his desk, hands clasped. Franklin eagerly looks on in anticipation as British Emissary Richard Oswald reclines in his chair, reading a preliminary draft of the Treaty of Paris, the agreement that formally ended the American Revolution and recognized the United States as an independent country.

After the Battle of Yorktown in late 1781, Great Britain’s Secretary of State for the Home Department, Lord Shelburne, sent Oswald to Paris where talks to end the Revolutionary War began in April 1782. Following complications, the Treaty of Paris obtained signatures on September 3, 1783, thanks to the negotiating of Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay. Pyle’s painting appeared in “Scribner’s Magazine’s” 1898 serialization of Henry Cabot Lodge’s "The Story of the Revolution.”

Ending the day on a high note. 🌅

In 1884, the distinguished Philadelphia landscape painter William Trost Richards bought a farm in Western Chester County, opening up new terrain, quite literally, for the artist. The farm, called Oldmixon, was located not far from present-day Coatesville, firmly within the Brandywine Valley. The glare of the low-hanging sun in this watercolor is reflected in the stream below—water that will eventually flow into the Brandywine.
