Trumbull's fame rests mainly on the four paintings in the capitol, the "Battle of Bunker Hill," and "Death of Montgomery," which two pictures still stand unexcelled in American historical painting, and on such strong portraits as those of Washington and Alexander Hamilton. <ref> [http://www.virtualology.com/virtualmuseumofart/hallofamericanart/JOHNTRUMBULL.COM/ John Trumbull] </ref>
