Lunch Bite—A Portrait of Andrew Wallace, the “Rescuer of Lafayette” at Brandywine
September 13, 2024 @ 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm
Historical Programs Manager Andrew Outten discusses a portrait of Revolutionary War veteran Andrew Wallace of the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, painted by John Neagle in 1831. The presentation will examine Wallace’s service during the Revolution—including his claim to have aided Lafayette on the battlefield after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine—and the significance of the portrait in the context of memorializing the Revolution.
This program accompanies our current exhibition, Fete Lafayette: A French Hero’s Tour of the American Republic, on view through December 31, 2024.
