Abstract
SINCE the prelude to my investigations of the works of Col. Trumbull was published in these pages,1 it seems only fitting and proper that the epilogue to these studies be herein recorded. The year following THE ART BULLETIN articles, The Works of Col. John Trumbull, Artist of the American Revolution2 appeared. The “Patriot-Artist's” oils, miniatures, water colors, drawings, designs, and architectural studies were arranged in a check list which included portraits; historical, mythological, allegorical, literary, and religious subjects; landscapes; figure studies; designs for medals and badges; charts and maps; buildings, planned and constructed. The total of about a thousand items is not an inconsequential oeuvre. It may be said parenthetically that too little is known of this preeminent documentary artist's work other than his celebrated historical paintings and his many portraits of Revolutionary worthies.
