"“John Adams” by John Trumbull depicts the American statesman and  Founding Father, who served as the second President of the United States (1797–1801) and served two terms as the first Vice President (1789–97).  When Adams was vice president, he had portraits commissioned by the artist John Trumbull, who based this painting on one of those original portraits.\n\nJohn Adams established his prominence early in the American Revolution and was a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, where he played a leading role in persuading Congress to declare independence. He assisted Thomas Jefferson in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. As a diplomat, he helped negotiate the eventual peace treaty with Great Britain.\n\nIn his single term as president, he was the first U.S. president to reside in the executive mansion, now known as the White House. In 1800, Adams lost his re-election to Thomas Jefferson and retired to Massachusetts. He died on the same day as Jefferson on the 4th July 1826, exactly fifty years after they had ratified the passage of the Declaration of Independence.\nJohn Trumbull\n\nJohn Trumbull was an American artist during the period of the American Revolutionary War and was notable for his historical paintings.
