Paintings of the American Revolution
How much of our understanding of the Revolutionary War is colored by the way the war was depicted by artists in their paintings?
This one’s for the history buffs who’ve ever squinted at a painting of Washington crossing the Delaware and thought, “wait, did it actually look like that?” On Tuesday, August 4th at 7:00 p.m., the Morristown and Morris Township Library hosts an online talk asking how much of what we think we know about the Revolutionary War was shaped by the artists who depicted it. It runs an hour, it’s free to attend from your couch, and you’ll need to register to get the event link. Head to the library’s calendar at mmtlibrary.libcal.com for registration details.
