He made it his mission to record the war, giving visual form to what most citizens of the new United States thought: that they had brought into the world a great and unprecedented political experiment. His purpose, he wrote, was âto preserve and diffuse the memory of the noblest series of actions which have ever presented themselves in the history of man.â Although Trumbull?s contemporaries viewed him as a painter, Trumbull thought of himself as a historian. Richard Brookhiser tells Trumbull?s story of acclaim and recognition, a story complicated by provincialism, war, a messy personal life, and, ultimately, changing fashion. He shows how the artist?s fifty-year project embodied the meaning of American exceptionalism and played a key role in defining the values of the new country. Trumbull depicted the story of self-rule in the modern world?a story as important and as contested today as it was 250 years ago. 600 10 $a Trumbull, John, $d 1756-1843. 650 0 $a Painters $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Painting $x History $z United States $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $v In art. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240702033038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F1DB9A0383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
