Explore American realist artist Don Troiani's incredibly detailed military paintings and collection of artefacts
Don Troiani (born 1949) is an acclaimed American painter and militaria collector. The subjects of his work are typically focussed on his native country's military heritage, largely from the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the American Civil War.
The Artist's Style Troiani has a highly realistic oil and watercolour style that has lent itself well to marketed mass-produced printed limited-edition reproductions, illustrated books, book compilations, museum and government collections. To create his detailed paintings, Troiani uses posed models with equipment and clothing from his personal collection of insignia, original uniforms and weapons. He also examines weather conditions, battlefields and military structures firsthand, to successfully achieve the level of realism in his works.
