The Freake Painter (fl. 1670s), also known as the Freake Limner and the Freake-Gibbs Painter, was an anonymous British portrait painter who has been described as "North America's first major artist".[1][2][3][4]
About ten portraits, all painted between 1670 and 1674 and showing residents of Boston, have been attributed to the Freake Painter.[2] It has been suggested that the artist might be identified as Samuel Clement (1635–78), the son of Augustine Clement who had arrived in New England in 1635 having previously trained as a painter in England.[1]
His work Mrs. Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary appeared on a United States Postal Service postage stamp in 1998, one of a series celebrating "Four Centuries of American Art".[5]
