"Writing the Declaration of Independence, 1776" is a painting by American artist Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, part of his series "The Pageant of a Nation," which is the largest series of American historical paintings by a single artist. Ferris, born in 1863 and passing in 1930, was known for his historical genre paintings, which often depicted moments from American history with a blend of romanticism and academic painting techniques.

The artwork illustrates a scene from the drafting of the United States Declaration of Independence, a pivotal moment in American history. The central figures in the composition are often thought to be Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration, shown in the act of writing the document, alongside John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, who were members of the Committee of Five appointed by the Continental Congress to draft the Declaration.

Ferris's painting is an example of early 20th-century American historical art, reflecting a period when there was a strong interest in the nation's founding stories and a desire to create visual narratives that celebrated American heritage. The painting is characterized by its attention to historical detail, although Ferris's works have also been critiqued for incorporating anachronisms and idealized portrayals that may not be entirely accurate from a historical perspective.

"Writing the Declaration of Independence, 1776" serves as both an artistic representation of a historical event and a reflection of the period in which Ferris worked, contributing to the myth-making and national identity formation of the United States. The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped to shape the visual iconography of American history in the public imagination. Despite any historical inaccuracies, Ferris's paintings remain significant as cultural artifacts that offer insight into how Americans of the early 20th century viewed their past.
