The painter's fire: a forgotten history of the artists who championed the American Revolution

By

Abstract

"The Painter's Fire follows an unusual cohort of London-based artists-men and women, Black and white-who promoted the Patriot cause during the Revolutionary War, risking their livelihoods and reputations to defy the British Empire. Their experiences, Zara Anishanslin shows, testified to both the promise and the limits of liberty in the founding era"-- Provided by publisher.
