Revolutionary Art Of Don Troiani
Paintings by Don Troiani.

As one of the last world conflicts to occur before the advent of photography, the scenes of the American Revolution have largely been left to the imagination, with details supplied by written anecdotes and surviving artifacts. With those scant bits of information, though, renowned artist Don Troiani has brought the events of the Revolution alive through his richly detailed works.

Ranging from individual studies to large, dynamic battle scenes, Troiani’s artwork has provided a lens into the 18th century. By using surviving artifacts, eyewitness testimony, accurately reproduced uniforms, original firearms and the thorough study of battle sites, Troiani has done more than imagine what happened 250 years ago. His art is as close as it can get to a true representation of what period combat would have looked like.

Though Troiani is currently engaged in works detailing the Revolution, in the past, he has produced rich studies of soldiers and scenes of the French & Indian War, American Civil War, War of 1812 and more. Through his work, Troiani has also supported American Rifleman’s efforts to shed light on historical arms, and his art has appeared in many American Rifleman features throughout the years. Troiani is a dedicated NRA Life member.
