The title places this picture at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2 and 3, 1863, and the gallery files it under the third day of fighting. That final afternoon ended with Pickett's Charge, when roughly 12,500 Confederate troops under Gen. Robert E. Lee advanced across open fields toward the Union center on Cemetery Ridge and were driven back with heavy losses. The battle ended Lee's invasion of the North and remains one of the most studied engagements of the Civil War. Depictions from this period often mixed observed landscape with composed action, so it is worth checking how the artist handled the ridgelines and the movement of troops across the fields.
