The Face of Nathan Hale.

Nathan Hale, a distinguished American Patriot, soldier, and spy for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, is immortalized in the face captured through a Photohop reconstruction of Frederick William MacMonnies' statue of Hale in City Hall Park, New York.

Born on June 6, 1755, Nathan Hale excelled academically and graduated with honors from Yale University in 1773. Soon after, in 1775, he joined a Connecticut militia unit and rapidly rose to the rank of first lieutenant within five months. He became a valued member of Knowlton's Rangers, a reconnaissance and espionage detachment established by General George Washington.

At the young age of just over twenty-one, Hale's courage and determination led him to volunteer for a perilous mission behind enemy lines before the Battle of Harlem Heights. Though lacking formal training in espionage, he succeeded in gathering vital information about British troop movements for a week.

Sadly, on September 21, 1776, during his return from a mission, Hale was captured and found in possession of an incriminating document written in Latin hidden in the sole of his shoe. Without a fair trial, General William Howe ordered his execution for spying, which was carried out the next morning, September 22, 1776. Hale spent his final night confined in the greenhouse of Howe's headquarters, and at dawn, he was led to the gallows, where he faced his death with remarkable courage, famously uttering, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

Nathan Hale's legacy lives on as America's first spy and a symbol of unwavering patriotism. In recognition of his selfless sacrifice and devotion, he was officially declared Connecticut's state hero on October 1, 1985.

Contemporary accounts paint a picture of a remarkable individual. Beyond his intelligence and athletic prowess in wrestling, football, and broad jumping, Hale was described as kind, gentle, religious, and exceptionally good-looking. With fair skin, light blue eyes, and hair, he stood just under six feet tall, captivating both men and women alike. His presence and character earned him the admiration and affection of all who knew him, and it was said that all the girls in New Haven were enamored by him.

Children playing at Civic Virtue Triumphant Over Unrighteousness, a sculpture group on the Angelina Crane Fountain outside City Hall, ca. 1925. (Considering that Tammany Hall ruled the city government at the time, this has to be taken as a joke.) Created by sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies and architect Thomas Hastings, and carved by the Piccirilli Brothers, the sculpture was later moved to Queensborough Hall.

Mabel Conkling (1904). Frederick MacMonnies (American, 1863-1937). Oil on canvas. Terra Foundation for American Art.

Mabel Conkling displays the glamorous finery of her pale-blue and white dress and feathered hat as she stands commandingly before a tapestry that decorated the drawing room of Frederick MacMonnies's studio-home. The rich tints of the forest scene depicted in the weaving throw into relief the figure's light attire, pale complexion, and dark hair. The tall, narrow format of the painting emphasizes her majestic bearing.

MM: Spreading a Little Boston Joy

Last week, I returned to the courtyard of the Boston Public Library to spend a little time with this remarkable statue. Every time I see it, I take a deep breath and drink in the pure joy of this work created by Frederick MacMonnies a century ago. Believe it or not, this goddess-child pair stirred up quite a bit of controversy 90 years ago. They were banished from this location and shipped off …

Nathan Hale, Frederick William MacMonnies Bronze Statue (New York City Hall)

A really cool idea created for a longtime customer. I love how these faux finishes come out. I think they just look really unique. (I also have customs of my version of Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton in a faux bronze with oxidation patina and a stone patina for sale at my Etsy.)

I'd also like to do more adaptations of fine art into Funko POPs like this. I previously made the Venus de Milo and Magritte's The Son of Man. It would be really fun to revisit that vein.
