“[The] greatest motive I had or have for engaging in, or for continuing my pursuit of painting, has been the wish of commemorating the great events of our country’s revolution.”
Great history lesson Tara, I knew of his paintings (who hasn't) but I never knew his story!! Thanks for the enlightening history of this amazing talented patriot!!
Thank you Tara. A non combatant during the Revolutionary War. An Aide de Camp of General Washington. An artist who accepted diplomatic roles. And, a prisoner of War. John Trumbull certainly had significant roles in the war for independence. His qualifications to document important events of the founding of this nation with his brush are impeccable. His beautiful paintings stand as testament to many important events during our founding.
John Trumbull was another great American whose efforts not only commemorated one of the remarkable events of history, but he also contributed significantly to that event. The existence of the United States is unique in history.
His paintings are brilliant, as the British would say. I love reading these stories from behind the scenes of the Revolution. And this is just one more that has me wishing I had personally known Abigail Adams!
Thank you for the story of the man behind the paintings! Amazing work! I've never understood how someone could create paintings which looked as though they were taken with a camera!!
John Trumbull captured so many historic figures and events through his paintings. Even today we can appreciate his artistic talent. He definitely is a hero and a true patriot. Loved this piece of history you shared today, Tara.
I know of the paintings though until today, I did not know of the painter. Thank you Tara. 🙏❤️💪🇺🇲
