A Distant Battle, 1876
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by Edwin Austin Forbes that transports viewers to the heart of an intense conflict during the American Civil War. This print, measuring 47.9x60.5 cm, showcases Forbes' remarkable talent for capturing both the grandeur and intricacies of war. The scene depicted in this artwork is viewed from a distance of approximately six miles, offering a unique perspective on the chaos and destruction unfolding below. In the foreground lies an abandoned breastwork, serving as a poignant reminder of past struggles and sacrifices made by soldiers. To the left of the composition, a column of troops can be seen hurrying towards distant cannon fire and billowing smoke. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness their determination as they march resolutely towards battle. Forbes himself was an eyewitness to these events, having traveled with the Union Army from 1862-1865. His experiences undoubtedly informed his ability to capture not only military fortifications but also the vast North American countryside that served as backdrop to these historic clashes. This print serves as a powerful testament to America's tumultuous past and reminds us of the bravery displayed by those who fought for their beliefs during one of our nation's most defining conflicts - The American Civil War.
