騎兵の突撃。
1876
Edwin Forbes brings the chaotic energy of the American Civil War to life in this gritty scene. You can almost hear the thundering hooves and smell the gunpowder as cavalrymen charge into the fray, swords drawn high. In the foreground, the grim reality of battle is laid bare with fallen horses and soldiers scattered across the dusty field, while plumes of smoke rise in the distance. Forbes, who traveled with the Army of the Potomac as a sketch artist, was famous for capturing these raw, unglamorous moments of war rather than polished heroic poses.
