"Novel reading...[evokes]...a set of images, which amuse only from their variety and rapid succession, like the pictures of a magic lantern; not like a piece of Vanderlyn, where the painter makes fine touches, and leaves to your vanity at least the merit of discovering them." Theodosia Burr Alston to her father, Vice-President Aaron Burr (October 21, 1803)
John Vanderlyn. Above, Portrait of the Artist (1800), and below, detail from his Versailles Panorama (1814-19), which features a later portrait of the artist with an unidentified friend from Paris.
Both paintings, collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
