<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>In the 17th century, the North American colonists had neither the finances nor the time to collect much in the way of fine arts. Colonial artists working in pewter, silver, glass, or textiles followed European examples, but by the end of the century, the colonies were thriving and American art began to flourish.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>As 18th-century American colonists (prior to the Revolutionary War), grew more prosperous, many sought to make a name for themselves and be remembered. Portraits fulfilled this wish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>The 17th-century <em>limners</em> (untrained, anonymous artists working in the colonies) painted crude but often charming portraits in the Elizabethan style (style popular during the Reign of Queen Elizabeth of England), the Dutch baroque style, or the English baroque style (<em><strong>respectively below</strong></em>), depending upon the European background of both artist and patron. The style of the limners was flat and simplistic, but remained popular well into the 19th century. It was also a purely American style.</p>

John Singleton Copley and his peers studied mezzotint reproductions of English portraits. Mezzotints were engraved copper plates used to reproduce paintings. They were important because they could be bought and sold inexpensively, and gave artists in the colonies access to art from England and the rest of Europe.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> ARCHITECTURE:</span></strong></h2>
<h5 style="text-align: left;"><strong>*</strong><b>Colonial architecture</b></h5>
<p style="text-align: center;">is an architectural style from a mother country that has been incorporated into the buildings and settlements or colonies of distant locations. But Pilgrims from England were not the only ones coming to the New World, and people brought with them cultures, traditions and architectural styles from all over. American Colonists built settlements that copied the architecture of England, blended it with the design characteristics of their new lands, and created uniquely American designs.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Time period of approximately 1626 through 1725. There are more houses constructed by America&#8217;s earliest settlers in Essex County, Massachusetts than anywhere else in the country.<img data-attachment-id="3612" data-permalink="https://roadtripsandtinytrailers.com/2019/03/11/region-2-art-architecture-the-original-colonies-fun-facts/285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8/" data-orig-file="https://roadtripsandtinytrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8.jpg" data-orig-size="900,1349" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{";aperture";:";0";,";credit";:";";,";camera";:";";,";caption";:";";,";created_timestamp";:";0";,";copyright";:";";,";focal_length";:";0";,";iso";:";0";,";shutter_speed";:";0";,";title";:";";,";orientation";:";1";}" data-image-title="285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://roadtripsandtinytrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8.jpg" data-large-file="https://roadtripsandtinytrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8.jpg" class="alignright wp-image-3612" src="https://roadtripsandtinytrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/285c0680f8f3ff2866d54f76e8976eb8.jpg" alt="photo of interior of early colonial home" width="118" height="177" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>Characteristics of a First Period building include a <em>steeply pitched roof;</em> a slightly <em>asymmetrical plan</em>; and a <em>central chimney</em>. The first period structure is distinguished from later ones by its exposed frame in the interior. Some early windows may have had no glazing, but the standard first period window, until at least 1700, was the diamond-paned casement. No example of this type of window still exists.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>*</strong>Among the First Period designs, there are influences of:<strong> French Colonial</strong> (with raised upper windows and stone exteriors), <strong>Spanish Colonial</strong> (with flat roofs, adobe look exteriors and Catholic decor), <strong>Dutch Colonial</strong> (with barn-shaped gambrel roofs and stone exteriors) and <strong>German Colonial</strong> (with &#8220;half-timber&#8221; style of construction and a frame of braced timbers filled-in with masonry. When built into the sides of hills, they are called a &#8216;bank house&#8217;.) <em><strong>Shown respectively below</strong></em>:</p>

In America, however, there were both brick buildings and those built with wood and clapboards. They were oftentimes painted a pale yellow. This differentiated them from most other structures that were usually not painted at all. They were primarily box shaped with multiple chimneys.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Georgian colonial home usually has a formally defined living room, dining room and sometimes a family room. The bedrooms are typically on the second floor. They also have one or two chimneys that can be very large.</p>

They also wanted the look of elegance and prosperity. The Federalist style borrowed Neoclassical details and fancied up the Georgian design. They were given porticoes, balustrades, and other more elaborate features.</p>
