"Congress Voting Independence" is a significant historical painting created by American artist Edward Savage between 1795 and 1801. This large-scale work captures a pivotal moment in American history: the Second Continental Congress's vote for independence from Great Britain on July 2, 1776, which led to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence two days later. Savage's painting is notable not only for its historical subject matter but also for its meticulous attention to detail and the artist's effort to accurately depict the key figures involved in this momentous event.

Edward Savage, who was both a painter and an engraver, embarked on this ambitious project to commemorate the founding fathers and the birth of the United States. The painting features a detailed and carefully composed scene set in the Assembly Room of the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall, in Philadelphia. The room is filled with the prominent delegates of the Continental Congress, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Hancock, among others. Each figure is rendered with careful attention to their likenesses, based on Savage's own studies and available portraits of the time.

Savage's work is not merely a historical record but also a piece of patriotic art that aimed to inspire and educate the American public about their nation's origins. The painting reflects the Enlightenment ideals of democracy, liberty, and justice that were central to the American Revolution. It serves as a visual representation of the collective effort and determination of the American colonies to achieve self-governance and independence.

"Congress Voting Independence" has been praised for its historical accuracy and artistic merit. It remains an important artifact of American art and history, offering viewers a glimpse into the momentous occasion that shaped the future of the United States. The painting is part of the collection at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, where it continues to be studied and admired by historians, art enthusiasts, and the general public.
