John Trumbull (1756 – 1843)
John Trumbull (1756-1843), ’Målaren av Revolutionen’, fångade Amerikas kamp för självständighet genom ikoniska historiemålningar som Förklaringen om självständigheten och bidrog till att skapa en visuell minne av republikens födsel. Utforska hans arv!
One of the leading men in colonial Pennsylvania, Thomas Mifflin (1744–1800) later became governor of the state and a member of the legislature. During the Revolutionary War, he served with Trumbull as an aide-de-camp to General George Washington. Trumbull painted this miniature portrait at the same time as the nearly identical example in the collection of Yale University Art Gallery. Trumbull used the miniature portraits for depictions of Mifflin in two of his major history paintings, "The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton" and "The Resignation of General Washington" (both Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.).
