"In The Wake of the Mayflower" with Kevin Doyle and Karen Rinaldo
This presentation commemorates the 400th year of the landing of the MAYFLOWER on Cape Cod and explores how a commissioned painting, called The First Thanksgiving 1621,inspired a country, the world and a book entitled In the Wake of the Mayflower.
The artist who created The First Thanksgiving 1621 is Karen Rinaldo. She is a visual historian. She will talk about the commissioning of the painting and the process involved in its creation, unveiling and exhibition by invitation at Pilgrim Hall and the Plymouth Plantation for 20 years. The painting is currently on loan from the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches at an exhibit at the Museum on the Green in Falmouth, through December. Beginning in 2022 it will be displayed at Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth. It has been featured in text books, news shows and history books.
Kevin Doyle is a retired military combat veteran, as well as a writer and lecturer on historic places and events. He will share his thoughts about his collaboration with Karen Rinaldo on the book In The Wake of the Mayflower. The book covers four timelines: The Nauset period 1602-1619; the Pilgrims arrival and their relationship with the native Wampanoag; King Philip 1621-1675; and the origin of Cape towns 1675-1976.
