The Spirit of 76, Archibald Willard, Painted 1912

These are icons of that spirit that gave victorious force to the american revolution. A mythical 13-star flag flies over thirteen deplorables of an advancing army. Often parodied for humor, they live on as rustic legends of liberty, visions of inspiration – sustaining valor. Object Type: painting. Date: Painted 1912. Place of creation: Wellington, Ohio, USA.. Dimensions: Hight 305 cm (120 in) ; Width 244 cm (96 in). Medium: oil paint on canvas. Depicted Place: Colonial United States. Spirit of '76
