Lecture: Using Artwork for Historical Research
April 28, 2012
A Striking Likeness: Using Artwork for Historical Research…and Using Research to Study Artwork. A lecture at Ft. Montgomery State Historic Site on Thursday, April 26 at 7 pm.
Traditional historical research draws primarily upon the written word- such as letters, journals, memorials, official documents and historical publications. Historians have shown less interest in historical visual arts that are often as important as written ones. Saratoga National Historical Park Historian Eric Schnitzer will take a brief look at artwork focusing on themes related to the American War for Independence and how careful study of the visual arts can add new dimensions to our understanding of the past.
