Mort Kunstler - While The Enemy Rests - Collectible Civil War Print

Description: While The Enemy Rests by Mort Kunstler The Country's foremost Civil War ArtistCol. Mosby Paris Mountain, VA - December 1, 1864I've always been amazed at how many different ways the ideas for my paintings come about. While the Enemy Rests is no exception. The concept began with a letter from David Falkenstein, a Civil War enthusiast in Strasburg, Virginia, suggesting a painting called Mosby's Confederacy.David's idea was of a pre-dawn snow scene with a long vista centering around Colonel John S. Mosby in Northern Virginia. I liked the idea but wanted it to be different from my many night snow scenes. I decided a sunset could include both night light and the dramatic light streak at the horizon after the sun has actually set. While searching for a suitable valley that would have been occupied by Federal troops during the winter, historian Jeffry Wert, author of Mosby's Rangers, suggested Paris Mountain. December 1, 1864 was the perfect day. Placing the time at sunset gave me dramatic lighting, as well as enabling me to show the campfires glowing. It also gave me the opportunity to show two of the three lakes in the valley dramatically reflecting the orange glow of the sun. This view, looking south, is recognizable from Virginia's Route 50, which is appropriately called the John S. Mosby Highway.The poses of the men and horses are very important in a painting of this sort. The binoculars and telescope show the men scouting an enemy army, not riding into their own encampment. All horses are still except Mosby's. The movement of his horse, along with the break in the horizon by his black feathered hat, moves the viewer's eye toward Mosby as the center of interest.I think the color scheme of this painting, blue-gray and violet-gray, is appropriate for a portrayal of the "Gray Ghost of the Confederacy." --- NEVER FRAMED -- STORED FLAT -- PROTECTED ---- Hand signed by the artist & numbered limited edition print Collectible Civil War Print This is a beautiful collectible limited-edition Print ----- SOLD OUT PRINT EDITION ----- PERSONALLY HAND SIGNED & NUMBERED BY MORT KUNSTLER The Image Size Is About ---- 29 1/2" x 18" MINT CONDITION PRINT Comes with original certificate of authenticity Stored flat & protected & never framed SHIPPING - Tube - Insured - Via UPS - $55 - Within the Continental USA..LOwer 48 States ONLY...INTERNATIONAL UPS SHIPPING -- VIA -- EBAY's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM PAYMENT - Paypal - Visa - MasterCard - Discover - Check ~YOUR PHONE NUMBER IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAFE DELIVERY OF UPS ITEMS.~ FRAMING FOX FINE ART GALLERYLocated In New Bern, North CarolinaI have been in business for now over 48 years...we have in stock the largest inventory of SOLD OUT Prints in the USA All North Carolina residents will be charged 6.75% sales tax included in invoice.
