Charles Willson Peale was an exemplary patriot and served under George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. Many of his earliest portraits were miniatures painted on the battle fields. Peale then went on to paint hundreds of the Revolutionary patriot portraits, including at least 60 of George Washington. In 1784, Peale founded the Philadelphia Museum, one of the oldest museums in America and in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the first art academy in America. Explore Peale’s tremendous contribution in documenting the men of the American Revolutionary War. Led by art historian Martha Chiarchiaro, owner of Seeing History.
