Art of the American Revolution

Join the MFA for a free, live stream program for students learning remotely. This 30-minute, live interactive program* connects an MFA educator with students to explore works of art from the Museum’s collection.

Explore paintings depicting battles from the American Revolution as well as John Singleton Copley’s portraits of some of the patriots of colonial Boston while learning how the MFA is reinterpreting its collection and recognizing the role of indigenous and African patriots absent from the tradition of portrait painting through the use of the “Empty Frame."

Follow the link to preregister for the program with the MFA’s partner Streamable Learning.
