Framed George Washington Posters
George Washington, perhaps the most iconic American president, if only because he was the first president of the United States of America. Possibly no other president has been captured as in as much variety of artwork as this president. Framed George Washington art varies from traditional paint on canvas, sketch, to modern mediums and on everyday incidentals.
As the first president of America it is a given that he would be so elaborately and widely captured in framed George Washington paintings. Not just in portraiture, such as by Gilbert Stuart, but also in poses, such as by Charles Wilson Peale and ‘Love of Country’ by Mark Missman, and set in such scenes as his many victories and accomplishments, such as ‘Passage of the Delaware’ by Thomas Sully and ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware’ by Emanuel Leutze.
Although it is not possible for this president’s face to appear in framed George Washington photography directly, this man is so important in America’s freedom and becoming an independent nation that he has not only been captured in stone such as Mt Rushmore, or the George Washington Memorial on Wall Street, New York. But his face is also on the dollar bill, probably one of the most ubiquitous denominations of currency so widely available throughout America today. These pieces themselves have been further imagined as art pieces through photography.
Great moments from Washington’s career both prior to America’s independency and his being made president, during his serving as president and after his resignation. This man’s life has been so carefully presented in framed George Washington artwork including the ‘Surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, 1781’, to ‘General George Washington Resigning his Commission’ and to ‘President George Washington on his Deathbed’. But he has also been captured as a person, not just a president, in such pieces as ‘George Washington on his Farm’ and in ‘Washington Family’.
