"Investigating John Trumbull's Portraiture in an Iconic American Historical Painting" from Sam Forman, modern biographer of Dr. Joseph Warren and author of the upcoming young adult historical romance 'Twenty-One Heroes.' Architect Rick Detwiller has identified for study whether the controversial Patriot James Swan (1751-1830) is depicted as the heroic protector of the mortally wounded Dr. Joseph Warren in the central vignette of John Trumbull’s iconic historical painting “Bunker’s Hill.” The resulting inquiry provides a window into Trumbull’s design, visual storytelling, and meticulous individual portraiture of this early and well known image of the Revolutionary Era. Art, history, and biography come together in this illustrated lecture.
