Statue of George Washington, LL.D., 1783, Presented to the Academy of the Fine Arts (1916)
2377999Statue of George Washington, LL.D., 1783, Presented to the Academy of the Fine Arts1916

Statue of George Washington, LL.D., 1783, Presented to the Academy of the Fine Arts.

Edward H. Coates, formerly president of the Academy of the Fine Arts, has done a very graceful thing in perpetuating in bronze and presenting to the academy the statue of George Washington, by William Rush, the wood carver, which is now in the Supreme Court room in Independence Hall. The letter of transference of Mr. Coates explains the matter very clearly and runs as follows:

To the President and Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts:

Dear Sirs—In fulfillment of wishes kept in mind for several years, I beg leave to offer for your acceptance a statue cast in bronze from the full-length figure of President Washington carved by William Rush in 1812, and now in Independence Hall.

The city of Philadelphia has given authority for the unique plaster model from the original statue, and the bronze has been cast and finished by the Roman Bronze Works, of New York. Should the Board of Directors be pleased to accept the statue by William Rush, the first American sculptor, the academy, having already in its possession "Peale in His Museum," by Charles Willson Peale, and "Washington," by Rembrandt Peale, would then have in its keeping the most representative work of the three artists among the founders of the academy, to whose continued and untiring efforts we are to-day indebted for the oldest art institution in America. Faithfully yours,

EDWARD H. COATES.

Mr. Coates notes that in response to the letter the academy has accepted the statue for exhibition in the permanent gallery of sculpture. For the statue and the bust, the following lines have been prepared, which tell the story of both works or art:

WILLIAM RUSH.
1756-1833.
First American Sculptor, Ship-Carver, Patriot, Mem-
ber of the City Council of Philadelphia, One
of the Founders of the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, 1805.

Bust by himself, first carved from a pine-knot, and now in bronze in the corridor of The Pennsylvania Academy.

STATUE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
First President of the United States.
By William Rush.
Purchased by the City of Philadelphia from the sculp-
tor in 1831, and now in the Supreme Court
Room of the Old State House
(Independence Hall).

Letter from Edward H. Coates to the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (2 April 1906) (1906)
2377999Letter from Edward H. Coates to the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (2 April 1906)1906

"Philadelphia, April 2, 1906.

"To the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Dear Sirs—After a fifth re-election, and at the end of sixteen years of service, I beg leave to tender my resignation as president and ex-officio member of the board of directors.

As is known to members of the board, it was my desire to withdraw from office when the centenary should have been reached in 1905 and the Academy should have entered upon its second century, but at that time, owing to important matters pending the action was deferred. With the close of the annual exhbitions and at the end of the present school year, the moment seems favorable for the fulfilment of my intention, and I now ask to relinquish all official duties after June 1 next.

In doing so, after a connection with the Academy, which is already longer than that of any director, save only that of the Hon. Joseph Hopkinson, one of its founders, and its second president, and with a due regard for all that the institution has accomplished, I am most impressed with the opportunities which lie in front of the management, and the work which is to be done. The progress and influence of the Pennsylvania Academy in the next decade must be larger and more important than in any which have preceded.

To have been associated with the work of the institution, and to have had any part in the vigorous and fine movement in American art which has taken place during the last twenty-five years and which continues with increasing strides, has been a high privilege and honor. Most of all I desire to express my grateful obligation for unfailing support and co-operation, without which any individual action or endeavor would have been futile, and which have always been loyally and most generously given by every member of the board of directors.

"Very faithfully yours,⁠

(Signed) Edward H. Coates.
