American Testament – SOLD

„American Testament” is a reminder to Americans and Poles and all modern countries of what was at the foundation of the USA, i.e. timeless humanist values. The „Founding Fathers” of the USA (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, ) are the heroes and inspiration for this painting. But I also painted the smallest head on the left. It is a Pole, Kazimierz Pułaski, called the „father of the American cavalry” because he created it there during the fight for freedom and independence of the USA. I placed him in the painting because in 1777 in the Battle of Brandywine, Pułaski saved George Washington’s life. If not for this fact, who knows how the fate of the USA would have turned out… There in the background in the painting is a view of New York from the end of the 18th century. On the left is the Church of St. Paul, which still stands in Manhattan. The churches on the right, i.e.; Brick Church and St. George’s Church, did not survive to this day because they burned down in fires.
