The Signing of the Constitution of the United States by Howard Chandler Christy

Description: "The Signing of the Constitution of the United States" is a painting by Howard Chandler Christy that depicts the historic signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787. The painting was commissioned by Congress in 1932 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Constitution. Christy was a well-known illustrator and portrait painter at the time, and he was chosen for the commission because of his ability to depict historical scenes with great detail and accuracy. He spent months researching the subject matter, including studying portraits of the Founding Fathers and visiting Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the signing took place.The painting was unveiled in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol on May 29, 1940, where it still hangs today. It has become an iconic image of American history and is widely recognized as one of the most important works of art in the United States Capitol.This beautiful Giclee Art Print is reproduced in the USA by Texas Art Warehouse in a variety of sizes and materials.All products are made by our printing and framing partner in the USA.
