A Danville artist has created a rendering of a Revolutionary War minuteman to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. Travis Perry's artwork, published by North Star Monthly, shows a figure whose expression the artist says captures the resolve of those who signed the Declaration of Independence.
The image includes the words "We hold these truths to be self-evident" on the base, linking the artwork to the nation's founding document. Perry's work coincides with the Fourth of July holiday, which this year commemorates a quarter millennium since the Declaration of Independence was adopted.
No additional details about the medium or dimensions of the artwork were immediately available.
