DON TROIANI is a traditional academic realist painter
well known for his highly accurate historical and military paintings
mostly of the Civil War and American Revolution. He was born in New York
City in 1949 and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy Of Fine Arts and
New York City's Art Student’s League between 1967 and 1971.
Don Troiani's lifelong focus on America's military heritage enabled him
to present that subject with extremely high fidelity. He has one of the
great private artifact study collections of Civil War, War of 1812,
Revolutionary War, and World War II uniforms, equipage, insignia and
weapons which he calls on to add the unique dimension of realism he is
well known for. He is also an expert researcher with a huge personal
Military library of over 3,000 volumes. The garb and gear of each figure
are painstakingly researched. Appropriate backgrounds are found and
studied, sometimes sending the artist hundreds of miles from home to
examine battlefields and structures firsthand. Because of the great
amount of research that goes into one of his works, it is often years
between a painting's conception and the actual moment the brush is put
to canvas.
