Excerpt from Robert Feke: The Early Newport Portrait Painter and the Beginnings of Colonial PaintingWith the' Redwood Library is associated another name which we may not leave unmentioned in this introduction to a sketch of a painter who lived at Newport in the second quarter of the eighteenth century. This was Peter Harrison, the architect and builder of the Redwood Library, an edifice in which are exemplified in an excellent manner the traditions of the architects who followed Sir Christopher Wren. Later Peter Harrison was the architect of King's Chapel at Boston. He and his brother Joseph, it is said, came to Newport with Berkeley, and it is not impossible that they may have had some association with Feke.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
