Американские художники и Американская революция.
As Paul Staiti reveals in "Of Arms and Artists", the lives of the five great American artists of the Revolutionary
period — Charles Willson Peale, John Singleton Copley, John Trumbull, Benjamin West, and Gilbert Stuart —
were every bit as eventful as those of the Founders with whom they continually interacted, and their works contributed
mightily to America's founding spirit. Living in a time of breathtaking change, each in his own way came to grips
with the history being made by turning to brushes and canvases, the results often eliciting awe and praise,
and sometimes scorn.
