EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "America Presenting at the Altar of Liberty Medallions of Her Illustrious Sons. . . c. 1785" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. Created in England during the late 18th century, this exquisite piece showcases an allegorical scene that symbolizes the spirit and triumph of the American Revolution. At the center of the composition stands George Washington, portrayed after a painting by John Trumbull. Accompanied by Victory, he gazes upon America as she kneels before Liberty. In her hands, America presents portrait medallions honoring those who played significant roles in securing independence for their country. The artist Pierre Eugene du Simitiere masterfully etched this powerful image onto copperplate, resulting in a stunning printed fabric design. The cotton and linen plain weave adds texture and depth to the artwork's rich colors. This print not only celebrates historical figures but also embodies profound concepts such as freedom and patriotism. It serves as a reminder of America's enduring commitment to liberty and its indebtedness to those who fought for it. Displayed prominently at an art gallery or cultural institution like the Art Institute Chicago, this remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect on their nation's heritage while appreciating its artistic beauty. As we admire each intricate detail - from clouds hovering above to laurel wreaths crowning heads - we are transported back to a time when brave men and women shaped a new destiny for their beloved land.
