Book Talk: The Painter's Fire with Author Zara Anishanslin

Sunday February 22, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Spend the afternoon at Morven exploring art and revolution with author Zara Anishanslin. This talk will feature her new book, The Painter's Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution. This program is held in partnership with the William Trent House Museum.

The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies by soldiers with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic, artists also played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Discover the inspiring stories and intertwined lives of three of these largely forgotten Patriot artists: Robert Edge Pine, Prince Demah, and Patience Wright. They defied the British monarchy, armed with paint, canvas, wax, and espionage while risking their lives and reputations to support the cause of liberty. Delve into these stories and more at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Your program ticket includes access to visit the museum any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. the day of the event. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing with the author.
