II. Military History Paintings 1880-1887

In terms of his preferred subject matter—military history painting--Trego’s most productive years encompass the time he spent at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1880-1882) and the years afterward until he left the United States to study in Paris late in 1887. Today these are also his best documented years, with the largest number of fine paintings extant.
