直布罗陀驻军的突围

John Trumbull American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628

特朗布尔和他的美国同道本杰明·委斯特、约翰·辛格尔顿·科普利等人一样，都有在历史画作上大展宏图的野心，他们希望能画出具有英雄意义的大尺幅画作。在委斯特的建议下，特朗布尔画出了直布罗陀受到长久围攻这一事件中的一个重要情节，当时西班牙人企图从英国人手中夺走直布罗陀岩。艺术家描绘了英国这场胜利中一个特别的瞬间，即乔治·艾略特将军向他垂死的敌人——年轻的唐荷塞·德巴博萨伸出同情的援手。不过，特朗布尔最终的目标是为了赞扬绅士们无论遇到什么情况都能表现出高尚的风度。
