Notes: Don Troiani is a traditional academic realist painter known for his highly accurate historical and military paintings of the American Civil War and American Revolution. Born in New York City in 1949, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and New York City’s Art Students League, between 1967 and 1971. A lifelong military enthusiast, his personal library and artifact collections from the Civil War, the War of 1812, the American Revolutionary War and World War II, are amongst the greatest in the country. His vast collection of uniforms, equipage, insignia, and weapons contribute to the unique dimension of realism for which he is well known. Historical backdrops are studied first hand, often sending the artist hundreds of miles from home to examine battlefields and structures. Due to the meticulous research, it is often years between a painting’s conception and execution.
