Painting Description
"George Washington in 1775" is an illustration by Alonzo Chappel, featured in the book "Life and Times of Washington," Volume I, published in 1857. The artwork depicts George Washington during a pivotal year in American history, as tensions between the American colonies and the British Crown escalated into armed conflict with the battles of Lexington and Concord, and the subsequent outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. In this year, Washington was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army by the Second Continental Congress, marking the beginning of his military leadership in the fight for American independence.
Chappel's illustration captures Washington at a moment of profound historical significance, embodying the resolve and determination that would come to define his role in the American Revolution. The "Life and Times of Washington" serves as a biographical compendium, chronicling the events and personal experiences that shaped the first President of the United States. Chappel's contributions to the volume, through his artistic interpretations, offer visual context to the narrative and help readers connect with the historical figures and events described in the text.
Alonzo Chappel (1828–1887) was an American painter and illustrator known for his historical scenes, particularly those depicting significant moments in American history. His works were widely disseminated in the mid-19th century, often appearing in books and periodicals, thus playing a role in shaping the public's perception of American history during that era. The "Life and Times of Washington" is one such work that benefited from Chappel's illustrative talent, providing a visual dimension to the written account of Washington's life and legacy.
