List of paintings of Thomas Jefferson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809 and one of the country's many Founding Fathers.[1][2][3] Jefferson's most credible and notable decision was to authorise the purchase of the Louisiana State, which doubled the size of the United States.[4] Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the same day as his predecessor, dying just a few hours before him.[5][6]

Much like other presidents, Jefferson was painted frequently due to cameras not being advanced enough to create permanent photographs; also, at the time, the general public did not know what Jefferson looked like when he ran for president in 1800.[7][8]
