Don Troiani (born 1949) is an American painter renowned for his highly realistic depictions of American military history, particularly scenes from the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War. His work is academic in style and is most often executed in oil on canvas or gouache on paper. Troiani is known for using posed models dressed in clothing and equipped with gear from his extensive collection of original uniforms, accoutrements, insignia, and weapons. He also conducts meticulous firsthand research, studying battlefields, weather conditions, and surviving structures to ensure historical accuracy. Some of his original paintings have been exhibited at the Museum of the American Revolution and the Heinz History Center.

This image depicts the British 7th Regiment of Foot (Royal Fusiliers) retreating from Continental troops during the Battle of Cowpens. The Battle of Cowpens saw an American force of 1,065 troops, under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, defeat a British force of 1,150 trrops, under the command of Banastre Tarlton. Fought on January 17, 1781, the victory snapped a string of American defeats and marked a turning point in the British Southern Campaign.
