Painting Description
"Study for The Death of General Montgomery in the Attack on Quebec" is a historical painting by the American artist John Trumbull, which depicts the death of General Richard Montgomery during the American Revolutionary War. The work is a preparatory study for one of Trumbull's larger and more famous paintings, "The Death of General Montgomery in the Attack on Quebec, December 31, 1775," completed in 1786 and now part of the collection at the Yale University Art Gallery.
John Trumbull (1756–1843) was an American artist known for his historical paintings of the American Revolution. He served as a soldier in the war and later traveled to London to study painting under the renowned American artist Benjamin West. Trumbull's firsthand experience of the war and his commitment to historical accuracy are evident in his detailed and dramatic representations of key events from the conflict.
The study captures the moment when General Montgomery was fatally shot during the Battle of Quebec. The scene is filled with the chaos and violence of the assault, as Montgomery's lifeless body is surrounded by his concerned troops. Trumbull's composition focuses on the emotional impact of the general's death, highlighting the sacrifice and heroism that characterized the American struggle for independence.
While the study is less well-known than the final painting, it provides valuable insight into Trumbull's artistic process and his approach to historical narrative. The study would have allowed Trumbull to experiment with composition, lighting, and figure placement before committing to the larger canvas. As such, it is an important work for understanding the development of Trumbull's artistic vision and his contribution to the genre of history painting.
The study for "The Death of General Montgomery in the Attack on Quebec" is an example of Trumbull's dedication to commemorating the heroes of the American Revolution and his skill in conveying the drama and significance of historical events through art. It remains an important piece for scholars studying Trumbull's oeuvre and the broader context of American Revolutionary War art.
