Alexander Hamilton
John Trumbull, 1792
Trumbull's Hamilton — the Treasury mind in a hard American gaze.
About this work
John Trumbull painted this full-length portrait of Alexander Hamilton in 1792, while Hamilton was serving as the first Secretary of the Treasury under George Washington. In 2013 Credit Suisse donated it jointly to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas, which take turns displaying it. Trumbull (1756–1843) was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and is known as the "Painter of the Revolution"; his Declaration of Independence hangs in the U.S. Capitol rotunda and appears on the back of the two-dollar bill. He painted Hamilton several times, and a later portrait, of 1805, is the source of the face on the ten-dollar bill. Hamilton was born in Charlestown on the Caribbean island of Nevis, orphaned as a child, and educated at King's College in New York. He served as an artillery officer in the Revolution, wrote 51 of the 85 Federalist Papers in support of the new Constitution, and founded the Federalist Party. He died in 1804 after a duel with Aaron Burr.
