Description

Sally Webster's groundbreaking study examines the commemorative tradition in early American art, tracing the symbolic language of liberty and independence through public monuments and national patronage. Centred on Jean-Jacques Caffieri's Monument to General Richard Montgomery, commissioned in January 1776 as the fledgling nation's first monument, this work establishes a coherent early history of American memorial practice. Webster explores how these carved symbols shaped the construction of an American patronymic tradition, revealing the deep connections between commemoration, national identity, and artistic patronage during the formative years of the United States. This scholarly examination fills a significant gap in art history by providing sustained consideration of how monuments functioned as vessels for national memory and values.
