Don Troiani is a soul lost in time; a twentieth century artist to whom the life of the common soldier of the War Between the States is as familiar and vivid as the surroundings of his Connecticut studio. While there are many other painters who have turned their attention to historical art, none have done so with the enthusiasm, insight and dedication of this accomplished recorder of drama and detail. "If an historical painting is not accurate, then it's worthless both as art and an investment," Troiani declares. "If you are going to become involved in this field then there is no excuse for being inaccurate." Indeed, Troiani's lifelong focus on America's military heritage enables him to present that subject with a credibility that surpasses his contemporaries. For a quarter century he has methodically built a superb museum quality reference collection of WBTS uniforms, equipment and weapons which he calls on to add the special dimension of realism he is so well known for. An expert researcher with a personal WBTS library of over 2000 volumes, he is assisted in his search for the truth by a select network of advanced collectors, curators and specialists whom he corresponds with regularly and who open their own collections to him. |
