Lecture: "The Painter's Fire" - Revolution Up Close: A Public Lecture Series

Thursday April 23, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Princeton University - Robertson Hall 100 (Arthur Lewis Auditorium)

Zara Anishanslin presents "The Painter’s Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution" as the first lecture related to Firestone exhibit "Nursery of the Rebellion."

The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic, artists armed with paint, canvas, and wax played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Zara Anishanslin charts the intertwined lives of three such figures who dared to defy the British monarchy: Robert Edge Pine, Prince Demah, and Patience Wright. From London to Boston, from Jamaica to Paris, from Bath to Philadelphia, these largely forgotten patriots boldly risked their reputations and their lives to declare independence.
