Im Leben von Gilbert Stuart
Das ganze Lebenby 1782
Fame after “The Skater”
By 1782 Stuart had met with success, largely thanks to “The Skater”, a portrait of Sir William Grant and Stuart’s first full-length portrait. The picture belied the opinion that he could paint a face but not a figure; the prices for his work were exceeded only by those of Reynolds and Gainsborough (by other accounts, they surpassed them).
c. September 1786
Marries Charlotte Coates
Charlotte Coates was thirteen years his junior. The couple had twelve children: five died by 1815 and two more in their youth.
1787
Flees to Dublin
Despite his many commissions, Stuart was habitually neglectful of money and in danger of being sent to debtors’ prison. In 1787 he fled to Dublin, where he painted and ran up debts with equal vigor.
