Paintings of the American Revolution

an art history lecture

How do depictions of the American Revolution color our understanding of the war?

NOTE: Due to today's unpredictable weather, we have decided to move this lecture to virtual. We will also stream it in the Community Room if you did want to come out in person. The link to join the lecture can be found here. Thank you for your understanding and we hope you can still join us!

We all know the story of the Revolutionary War, but how much of our understanding is colored by the way the war was depicted by artists? Paintings of the American Revolution have been essential in the way that the war was understood, both at the time of the conflict and for generations after. This lecture will explore well-known paintings such as Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware, John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence, and Asher Durand’s The Capture of Major André.
