Joseph Blackburn

English painter active in the American colonies between 1753 and 1763, specialising in portraits of New England high society. His style, elegant in execution and refined in colour, introduced Rococo taste into colonial painting. He is remembered for his influence on later American portraitists, such as John Singleton Copley.
