EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature portrait, titled "Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander Hamilton, 1777" showcases the distinguished statesman and founding father of the United States. Painted by Charles Willson Peale in watercolor on ivory, this delicate artwork measures just 3.8x2.54 cm and is housed in the Museum of the City of New York. Alexander Hamilton (1755/1757-1804) played a crucial role in shaping American history as an influential interpreter and promoter of the U. S. Constitution. As the first Secretary of the Treasury under President George Washington's administration, he authored groundbreaking economic policies that laid down the foundation for America's financial system. Beyond his political achievements, Hamilton founded both The Federalist Party and The New York Post newspaper while also establishing what would later become known as the United States Coast Guard. This portrait captures him wearing his military uniform, highlighting his previous service as a Lieutenant-Colonel during the Revolutionary War. Peale skillfully depicts Hamilton's strong features and intelligent gaze, conveying both his commanding presence and intellectual prowess. This intimate portrayal serves as a testament to Hamilton's significant contributions to American society as an economist, policy author, leader, and devoted father. As we admire this exquisite painting from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of Alexander Hamilton's enduring legacy that continues to shape our nation today.
