History
editIn the National Portrait Gallery's "America's Presidents" exhibit, the oil painting has been displayed next to a daguerreotype of Adams.[3]
Reception
editIn 2016, Holland Cotter of The New York Times considered the painting among the best presidential portraits.[4] In 2020, Crispin artwell of Reason magazine wrote, "John Quincy Adams, by George Caleb Bingham, sets the chastened tone of the generation after the Founders, a beautifully flat and direct approach that contrasts favorably with the grand gestures that preceded it and with some of those that followed."[5]
