Английская Википедия:George Washington (John Trumbull, 1790)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Infobox artwork George Washington (also known as Washington and the Departure of the British Garrison from New York City) is a large full-length oil painted by American artist John Trumbull in 1790.
Trumbull's earlier 1790 work, Washington at Verplanck's Point, which he had gifted to Washington's wife Martha, had been very well received. In consequence, Trumbull received a July, 1790, commission from the corporation for the City of New York, led by Mayor Richard Varick, to paint the president's portrait.[1][2]
Rather than beginning anew, Trumbull enormously scaled up the prior work, enlarging it from roughly 30" by 20" to nearly four times the size, 108" by 72". In composition and general character the two paintings are substantially the same, with only the middle background as seen through Washington's horse's legs changed, from a September 14, 1782 review of Continental Army troops he had staged for departing French commander-in-chief General Rochambeau to an idealized vision of Evacuation Day, Washington's return to New York City upon the British departure on November 25, 1783.
This painting is located in the historic Governor's Room of New York City Hall.[3][4]
Background
Trumbull in a letter to his mentor, the painter Benjamin West, on August 30, 1790 wrote:
Composition
The pose and general composition are virtual of copies of Washington at Verplanck's Point painted earlier in 1790, but instead of the background seen through the horse's legs being a romanticized depiction of a review of Continental Army troops at their encampment at New York's Verplanck's PointШаблон:Efn Washington had staged for departing French commander-in-chief General Rochambeau on September 14, 1782,Шаблон:Efn it is an idealized vision of Evacuation Day, Washington's return to New York City upon the British departure on November 25, 1783.[5] It was put on display in the Governor's Room of New York City Hall, where it remains.
