| 説明 | Per Wikipedia:James Wyeth (born 1946) is an American realist painter, son of Andrew Wyeth, and grandson of N.C. Wyeth. He was raised in Chadds Ford Township (PA) and is artistic heir to the Brandywine School tradition — painters who worked in the rural Brandywine River area of Delaware and Pennsylvania, portraying its people, animals, and landscape.Through his acquaintance with the Kennedy family, Wyeth was commissioned to do a posthumous unofficial 'Portrait of John F. Kennedy' (1967), with the understanding that he would keep it if it was not accepted by the surviving family. Both brothers Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy posed for Wyeth, and he studied photographs and films of the deceased president for three weeks.He attempted to portray JFK early in his presidency, perhaps in a moment of doubt or indecision over the Bay of Pigs Invasion, with the burden of power weighing on him. Jackie Kennedy thought the portrait accurate, but RFK and other family members did not like the less-than-triumphal depiction. The painting did not hang in the White House, and after stays at the French embassy in Paris, France and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, it was on loan from the artist to The Vice-President's Residence Foundation in Washington DC. Through great public acceptance, it has become one of the most famous images of JFK,including use on a 1988 postage stamp issued in Ireland.In 2014, the artist gave the portrait as a partial gift and partial purchase to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.Screenshot (source: website for the 2023 JFK Exhibit at the John F.
