AmRev360: Picturing the Revolutionary War with Don Troiani

Without the benefit of photography, the Revolutionary War can be difficult to imagine. But what did the war truly look like? Nationally renowned historical artist Don Troiani has spent much of his decades long career trying to answer this question through his painstakingly researched works of art. More than 45 of those paintings are currently on display as part of the Museum’s current special exhibition, Liberty: Don Troiani’s Paintings of the Revolutionary War, his first major museum exhibition.
In this episode of AmRev360, Troiani joins Museum President & CEO Dr. R. Scott Stephenson from the exhibit for a discussion about where his love of art and history originated, his surprising Philadelphia ties, his most challenging paintings, and the scenes he’d still like to paint.
