John Trumbull Biography

(b Lebanon, CT, 6 June 1756; d New York, 10 Nov 1843). American painter, architect and diplomat. His importance lies in his historical paintings memorializing events in the American War of Independence. Applying Benjamin West’s and John Singleton Copley’s realistic innovations in history painting to American subjects, he created a series of images, reproduced in countless illustrations, that have become icons of American nationalism. They are also symbolic of his lifelong political and artistic identity.
