BLACKBURN, JONATHAN (c. 1700-c. 1765)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 20 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BLACKBURN, JONATHAN (c. 1700-c. 1765) , American portrait painter, was born in Connecticut. He seems to have been the son of a painter, and to have had a studio in
Boston
  in 1750-1765; among his patrons were many important early American families, including the Apthorps, Amorys, Bulfinches, Lowells, Ewings, Saltonstalls, Winthrops, Winslows and Otises of
Boston
 . Some of his portraits are in the
possession
  of the public library of
Lexington
 ,
Massachusetts
 , and of the
Massachusetts
  Historical Society, but most of them are privately owned and are scattered over the country, the
majority
  being in Boston. John Singleton
Copley
  was his
pupil
 , and it is said that he finally left his studio in Boston, through jealousy of
Copley
 's superior success. He was a good portrait painter, and some of his pictures were
long
  attributed to Copley.
