EDITORS COMMENTS
John Trumbull's iconic painting, "Declaration of Independence," captures a pivotal moment in American history. Painted between 1817 and 1819, the neoclassical oil on canvas work depicts the five-man drafting committee - John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert R. Livingston, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin - presenting their draft of the Declaration of Independence to the Continental Congress on June 28, 1776. The historic event took place in the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia. The painting showcases 42 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, standing and delivering the document. Among them, Jefferson, the primary author, is prominently positioned at the center, while Franklin and Adams are on either side. The room is filled with a sense of gravity and importance, reflecting the significance of the moment. Trumbull's masterpiece is a testament to the collective efforts of the Founding Fathers in declaring America's independence from Great Britain. It is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination required to shape the course of history. The painting is now housed in the United States Capitol in Washington D.C., a fitting location for this symbolic piece of American art.
