Took me forever to see the flag. Beautiful picture despite it. |

The flag is the image. You can't love this painting despite the flag without totally missing the point. Given the year it was made, this has to be a painting about America's Civil War. In this seemingly mundane landscape painting, I see so much blood and strife on the horizon for the country, the dawn of a bloody fight. Fitting, as it would have been painted early in the war. |

missing the point was my point. Luckily he painted pointlessly beautiful subjects too :) |
