Much as once a week I like to take time off to cover warships (Wednesdays), on Sundays (when I feel like working), I like to cover military art and the painters, illustrators, sculptors, photographers and the like that produced them.
Combat Gallery Sunday: The Martial Art of Don Troiani
If you like military art at all, Don Troiani needs no introduction.
Here is a painting he has been working on for the Saratoga National Park that he has chronicled on his social media page from pencil to finished work.
The scene depicts the attack of the 62nd Regiment of Foot on the Connecticut Militia and 3rd New Hampshire Regiment on a wooded slope during the Battle of Freeman’s Farm. Major Harnage of the 62nd is wounded in the left foreground.
Thank you for your work, sir.
