Colonel Guy Johnson and Karonghyontye (Captain David Hill)

Artist: Benjamin West (American, 1738-1820)

Date: 1776

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Description

Colonel Guy Johnson and Karonghyontye (Captain David Hill) is a 1776 dual portrait by American painter Benjamin West, who specialised in historical painting and portraits. West was a co-founder of the Royal Academy in London, serving its president from 1792 to 1805 and again from 1806 to 1820.

The portrait depicts British Indian Department officer Guy Johnson and Mohawk chief David Hill. Johnson was the superintendent of the northern colonies of British North America and commissioned the portrait in 1776 while in London to secure that appointment. Sailing from Canada, Johnson was accompanied by Hill, who was a close friend. The alliance between Britain and several Indian tribes seriously threatened the rebel colonists' chances of victory during the American Revolutionary War.

In the portrait West signifies Johnson's role as ambassador to the Indians by equipping him in a red-coated uniform with moccasins, wampum belt, Indian blanket, and Mohawk cap. Karonghyontye is shown pointing to a peace pipe, while Johnson grasps a musket. This could suggest that harmony between Europeans and Indians will be maintained at all costs. The concept of cooperation extends to the background, where an Indian family gathers peacefully before a British military tent.

SONG OF THE WEEK: “Pipe of Peace, A Chippewa Song” live band rehearsal (lo-fi recording): https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/pipe-of-peace-a-chippewa-indian-song-rehearsal-3-90-remastered-2023

Flames are glowing bright, brother

Sit with me tonight, brother

Come let us join together smoke the sacred pipe of peace

Set aside our differences, brother

Put away our war dances, brother

Come let us join together smoke the sacred pipe of peace

I discovered this song in a vintage songbook for school children—a universal message from a childlike heart, a simple and timeless plea to rise above tribalism and killing. Normally I don’t like to use lo-fi recordings for public posts, but after recent events in the world, I’m using it as an urgent prayer. This was a live Rover Boys rehearsal w/Bennett Green (drums) and Adam Savetsky (bass). https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/pipe-of-peace-a-chippewa-indian-song-rehearsal-3-90-remastered-2023
