Painting
Civil War Soldier Firing a Cannon
| Oil on linen study of a Union Civil War soldier firing a cannon. The painting was done by one of a group of German panorama painters active in Milwaukee during the 1880s. Although unsigned, the study was likely done by F.W. Heine who donated it to the Historical Society. Although previously thought to have been for a Gettysburg cyclorama, Heine's diaries at the Milwaukee Historical Society suggest it was intended for cycloramas done of the Battle of Atlanta or the Battle of Missionary Ridge. |
