After the Virgin Mary herself, Anna McNeill Whistler may be considered one of the most recognizable mothers in all of art history. The Wilmington native is also one of the most famous moms to call North Carolina home.<\/p>\n

She has been the subject of songs, films, television shows, postage stamps, and even an 8-foot bronze statue in Pennsylvania that is dedicated to mothers everywhere.<\/p>\n

Admirers have described her son James\u2019 1871 portrait of her, \u201cArrangement in Grey and Black No. 1,\u201d as a \u201cVictorian Mona Lisa,\u201d an \u201ciconic symbol of motherhood\u201d and one of the \u201cmost famous works by an American artist outside the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Art historians see it as a leading example of the \u201caesthetic\u201d movement \u2014 a style that emphasized composition over subject matter and helped to coin the term \u201cart for art\u2019s sake,\u201d according to Dana Cowen, curator for European and American art before 1950 at UNC Chapel Hill\u2019s Ackland Art Museum.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this was a picture that he made that he intended to be his masterpiece,\u201d Cowen told the Carolina Journal.<\/p>\n

The painting, which made James Whistler the first American-born artist to be displayed in The Louvre (24 years after his death), is currently housed in Paris\u2019 Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay. Sold for 4,000 francs to the French government in 1891, the priceless work now has a theoretical value of up to $200 million.<\/p>\n

But according to historian Blake Tyner, the enduring image of Mother Whistler in her golden years is just the cherry on top in a life that few people even now \u2014 much less in her lifetime \u2014 could begin to comprehend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you do look at the painting, you think you just see this old woman,\u201d said Tyner, whose dual interests in women\u2019s history and regional history first led him to research Mrs. Whistler. \u201cBut, you know, there\u2019s so much more to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like a 19th-century Forrest Gump, she traversed the globe and stumbled into historic milestones, crossing the Atlantic Ocean 11 times by ship in a life that took her from the plantations of the antebellum South to industrial-era New York City, czarist Russia, and Victorian England.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were people who didn\u2019t even know that Russia existed in the back countries of Bladen County, North Carolina,\u201d Tyner said. \u201cBut to think that she\u2019s there, being around the upper echelons of society, buying Russian sables and going to the Catherine Palace \u2014 you don\u2019t get that view of her just by looking at that painting of her in black and gray.\u201d<\/p>\n

BOUND FOR GLORY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although much has been written by and about Mrs. Whistler, there are few traces left of her childhood in North Carolina, where she lived until the age of 10.<\/p>\n

She is remembered in Wilmington by a historical marker at the intersection of Third and Orange streets \u2014 a block from where she was born in 1804, in a two-story, brick home on the site of what is now known as the Rankin\u2012Walker House. (The house that now stands there, built circa 1890, has itself made appearances in several TV shows.)<\/p>\n

Anna was the fifth of six children born to Martha and Daniel McNeill. Her father, a physician who had been educated at the University of Edinburgh, had married an earlier wife while living abroad and had two daughters before returning home to Wilmington. After his first wife died, he wed Martha, a \u201clocal beauty,\u201d according to biographers.<\/p>\n

In addition to the home in Wilmington, where Dr. McNeill set up his practice, young Anna spent her summers at her grandparents\u2019 plantation, Oak Forest, located near present-day Clarkton in Bladen County.<\/p>\n

Through her brothers, she cultivated an interest in refined activities like music, history, French and cooking. And it was through her brother William, a cadet at West Point, that she became acquainted with George Washington Whistler, whom she would eventually marry, becoming his second wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis first wife was her best friend,\u201d Tyner said. \u201cWhen the friend died, then she ended up raising her friend\u2019s children.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the three stepchildren, she and Major Whistler had several of their own. James, the eldest, was born in 1834 in Lowell, Massachusetts, where his father had taken a job as chief engineer of the Locks and Canals Company.<\/p>\n

The Whistler patriarch would eventually get into the railroad industry, with a flourishing business building locomotive train engines. This caught the attention of Russian emissaries who had gone to study American railroads in order to build their own line from St. Petersburg to Moscow during the reign of Czar Nicholas I.<\/p>\n

They offered George Whistler a job overseeing the project, for which he received an annual salary of $12,000 (the equivalent of around $480,000 in today\u2019s dollars) and supervised the work of some 60,000 mechanics and laborers.<\/p>\n

CZARS AND WARS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the family\u2019s five years in Russia, Anna Whistler maintained detailed diaries that \u201cpresented her criticizing, anguishingly empathetic, and sometimes uninformed insights into the life of mid-nineteenth-century St. Petersburg,\u201d according to a description by Evelyn Jasiulko Harden, assistant professor of Russian and Russian literature at Simon Fraser University.<\/p>\n

But despite a sense of alienation due to the language barrier, she did her best to act as a sort of cultural ambassador to the Russian aristocracy, celebrating American traditions while keeping her roots close at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Thanksgiving, she insisted on roast turkey and actual pumpkin pie,\u201d Tyner said. \u201cSo, she was introducing them to those types of Southern foods that they wouldn\u2019t have necessarily been familiar with.\u201d<\/p>\n

In return, the Whistler family was exposed to an entirely new world of culture, which made a lasting impression on young James.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey traveled in circles with royalty, and when [James] was 10, [Anna] actually got to take him to the Catherine Palace to view all the paintings,\u201d Tyner said.<\/p>\n

James subsequently was enrolled at St. Petersburg\u2019s Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, where he first began to study drawing and was described as having a \u201csingular talent\u201d by visiting artists.<\/p>\n

But the family\u2019s fortunes took a drastic turn when the city was struck by an outbreak of cholera in 1848. Anna took the children to England. Her husband stayed behind to finish the railroad job, dying a year later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he died in Russia, [Czar] Nicholas offered to let her stay there and educate her children, and she said no, she wanted to come back to America,\u201d Tyner said.<\/p>\n

Her income took a major hit, dropping to around $1,500 a year (or $63,500 in today\u2019s dollars).<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she still insisted on keeping those children as much as she could in the upper parts of society and being around artists and writers and things like that,\u201d Tyner said.<\/p>\n

James went on to study in Paris before moving to London, where he proceeded to establish himself as a prominent artist. Another son, William, went on to become a surgeon for the Confederacy when the Civil War came.<\/p>\n

Torn between her New York home and North Carolina heritage, Anna Whistler opted to join James in England. But with her money tied up in Northern banks, she was forced to return to Wilmington seeking funds for the trip, and then to evade an enemy blockade on a Confederate steamship known as the Advance.<\/p>\n

In London, Mrs. Whistler once again enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle with a three-story house in the fashionable Chelsea district, where she served homemade biscuits and iced tea to writers and artists such as Ford Madox Ford, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, George Meredith, Charles Augustus Howell, according to an NCpedia entry.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t all easy-living. Despite his stern, biblical upbringing, James had a reputation for carousing and womanizing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen [Anna] was going to move in with him, he actually made his mistress move out,\u201d Cowen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so, you get a sense that he had a deep respect for her,\u201d Cowen added. \u201cBut at the same time \u2026 he was flamboyant in his life. He verged on bankruptcy. I think, on multiple occasions, he was openly hostile to critics of his work. He had a hard time keeping relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

PORTRAIT OF A LADY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mrs. Whistler was in her late 60s when she sat for her famous portrait at James\u2019 home.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis plan was to paint her standing, but she didn\u2019t want to stand for that long of a period of time,\u201d Tyner said. \u201cSo that\u2019s why she\u2019s actually in the rocking chair.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although it was initially scoffed at by the Royal Academy of Arts, exhibitions in France and America helped it to gain international renown, drawing favorable comparison to European art\u2019s Old Masters.<\/p>\n

Yet, for many it was the subject of the painting that made it so intriguing \u2014 causing James Whitmer to bristle at the reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me it is interesting as a picture of my mother; but what can or ought the public to care about the identity of the portrait?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Cowen, its modern appreciation lies in its paradoxical nature, balancing a deeply intimate and intriguing subject matter to which any viewer can relate, alongside the pared-down, paradigm-shattering explorations of form and color that art experts can admire.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a highly legible image of motherhood, of age, of the idea of restraint and dignity; I think people really resonate with that,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s just a beautifully composed picture. I think there is this kind of quietude to it. It\u2019s beautifully painted: You have these tonal relationships. It\u2019s a very monochromatic picture. You\u2019re getting just blacks and browns and grays and whites. And so, it\u2019s very pleasing to the eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

If a trip to Paris is too expensive, a full-size replica of the painting hangs in Wilmington\u2019s City Hall.<\/p>\n

Visitors to Chapel Hill also can admire the Ackland Museum\u2019s collection of around 50 Whistler drawings and prints (including an early print reproduction of Mrs. Whistler\u2019s famous portrait) whenever they go on display.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have anything on view by him right now because works on paper are light sensitive, and so we have to rotate those out pretty frequently,\u201d Cowen noted.<\/p>\n

As for historians looking to learn more about Mrs. Whistler\u2019s life, the State Archives in Raleigh lists several documents in its collection, including a mimeographed sketch titled \u201cNorth Carolina\u2019s Claim to Whistler\u2019s Mother\u201d by her biographer, Kate R. McDiarmid, which contains details of Mrs. Whistler\u2019s family, her early years in Wilmington and Bladen County, and her later life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
