The Historical Treasury

As a young man, Hamilton set out for the American colonies, seeking opportunity and driven by his passion for liberty. When the Revolutionary War erupted, he eagerly joined the Continental Army, rising through the ranks as an artillery captain. His strategic brilliance and leadership on the battlefield were instrumental in securing crucial victories for the American forces. Beyond his military achievements, Hamilton's partnership with General George Washington proved to be a pivotal moment in his life. As Washington's trusted aide-de-camp, he played an integral role in shaping the course of American history. Hamilton's impact extended far beyond the battlefield. Alongside James Madison and John Jay, he authored the influential Federalist Papers, advocating for the ratification of the United States Constitution.While Hamilton has always been an important figure in U.S. history, his popularity in recent years has soared due to the musical, “Hamilton” finding tons of success. The real man behind the musical was one of stubborn idealism. Many of his ideas make up the framework for the current U.S. Constitution. But some of his other ideas were considered controversial, and he made a lot of enemies during his career in politicsEveryone in Hamilton’s life seemed to disagree about which likeness represented him the best. Hamilton’s grandson said, the best likenesses were those by James Sharples. But then, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, said the portrait painted in 1802 by Ezra Emes, was “perfect,” And then Hamilton himself said the best likeness came from the profile-view portrait by William Joseph Weaver. Since side-view images are difficult for me to work from, I’ve worked from this 1796 bust by Giuseppe Cerrachi, taken from life when Hamilton was 37 years old. It’s a really highly regarded likeness. Now, Ceracchi did work in the Roman tradition, so this potentially leans towards being a little stylized, but it’s easy to see how well this image matches with other portraits of the Founding Father, and the descriptions from Hamilton’s lifetime#biography#hamilton #foundingfathers
