"Colonel Davy Crockett" is an engraving created by American artist John Gadsby Chapman, based on a painting by the renowned portraitist Charles Gilbert Stuart. The engraving, which dates to circa 1839, depicts the legendary frontiersman, soldier, and politician Davy Crockett, who became an iconic figure in American folklore. Chapman's work captures Crockett in military attire, reflecting his service during the Creek War and his role in the Texas Revolution, where he ultimately met his demise at the Battle of the Alamo in 1836.

The original painting by Charles Gilbert Stuart, from which Chapman's engraving is derived, is believed to have been created sometime around 1813, during the period when Crockett would have been in his late twenties, prior to his rise to national fame. Stuart, known for his portraits of prominent figures in American history, including the first six Presidents of the United States, provided a visual reference that Chapman translated into print form, allowing for wider dissemination of Crockett's likeness during the 19th century.

John Gadsby Chapman, an accomplished artist in his own right, was known for his historical scenes and portraits. His engraving of Davy Crockett not only served to memorialize the folk hero but also played a role in shaping the public's perception of Crockett as a symbol of the American frontier spirit. The work reflects the romanticized view of Crockett that was popularized in part by the 1834 autobiography "Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee," which contributed to his legend.

The engraving "Colonel Davy Crockett" by John Gadsby Chapman is a significant piece of American art history, as it intertwines the legacies of two notable artists with the enduring mythos of one of America's most storied figures. It stands as a testament to the power of visual art in the construction of national identity and the perpetuation of cultural heroes.
