The title names British redcoats charging, but the record gives no specific battle, date, or artist, so this entry can only speak to the subject in general terms. Paintings of this kind were often made long after the fighting, drawing on engravings, eyewitness accounts, and romantic ideas of heroic action. Boston was the center of the early conflict: British regulars, identified by their red coats, occupied the city from 1768 until March 1776, and the clashes around it in 1775 shaped the war's opening months. Such scenes helped later audiences picture the struggle as a contest between colonial militia and a professional army.
