SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—Glorious Lessons: John Trumbull\, Painter of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:John Trumbull experienced the American Revolution firsthand by serving as an aid to American generals George Washington and Horatio Gates and being jailed as a spy. Throughout his wartime experience\, he made it his mission to record the conflict\, giving visual form to the great and unprecedented political experiment for the citizens of the newly formed United States. Although Trumbull’s contemporaries viewed him as a painter\, Trumbull thought of himself as a historian. Drawing on his new book\, historian and biographer Richard Brookhiser focuses our attention on the complicated life and legacy of Trumbull\, whose paintings portrayed both the struggle and principles that distinguished America’s founding moment. \nRegistration is requested.
