Your Favorite Military Art

[mako88sb]

Over the last few years I've become much more interested in the American Civil War and since we've been working so much overtime this summer, I figured selecting a print would be a nice self-gift for my upcoming birthday. Mort Künstler seems to be the artists I'm gravitating to although I will say that Don Troiani's battle scenes are astonishing. However, for whatever reason, I found myself returning to the 4 Künstler prints below so now the hard part is trying to narrow it down to one. I have flip-flopped on each one at least a couple times so would greatly appreciate some opinions about which one to choose.


Heavy Traffic on the Valley Pike
Strasburg, VA, Summer 1861:
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_923_2.jpg?78819

The Mud March
Fredericksburg, Va., January 21, 1863:
http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/framingfox_2269_88176130

A Strangest Race
:JEB Stuart, White House, VA, June 29, 1862
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_921_2.jpg?86347

Rendezvous with Destiny
Gen. John Buford at Gettysburg, June 30, 1863:
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_177_2.jpg?76646


This is the one Troiani print I would definitely love to get but is out of my price range. I had very little knowledge of the wheatfield battle at Gettysburg until I read Jay Jorgensen's book about it.

SAVING THE FLAG
Colonel Harrison K Jeffords retakes the 4th Michigan's flag in the Wheatfield at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863:
http://www.historicalimagebank.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=462&g2_serialNumber=2

Colonel Jeffords became the only commissioned officer in the Civil War to die of a bayonet wound.

[Oberon]

I quite like 'The strangest race' but that's partly because I like the early steamships of that era. However, I think from what limited knowledge I have of the Civil War, The Mud March would probably be the best representation and certainly carries more emotion behind it, the determination against the elements to haul the gun carriage through the mire.

[Sailor Steve]

Some nice stuff there to choose from. Like Oberon I love the ships from that era. I've played a lot of board and miniatures games representing Civil War naval combat.

Agreed...'The Mud March'.

Some nice ones reasonably priced from here:

Yes, actually last summer was when I started to have a look at Civil War art and "The Strangest Race" grabbed my attention almost immediately. I was all ready to order it when some unexpected bills popped up. I was always more interested in the age of sail but my dad bought me the Revell model USS Kearsarge and I was quite impressed with it and the battle she fought against the CSS Alabama.

[Father Goose]

The Mud March or the Strangest Race. I favor Kunstler over Troiani because his paintings are softer and they look like a painting, where Troiani paintings look like photographs they are so clear. Both artists are very talented and it's just a matter of personal preference. :hmmm:

Good luck with your choice. Let us know what you decide. I highly recommend a nice frame that will compliment the piece.

Yes, I just love how he conveys the grit and perseverance of those men. It really brings home the miserable conditions that both sides often had to endure just to get somewhere.

Not sure if you have seen this but it's a pretty good interview with Mort. Near the end he mentions that he just made a deal with some vodka company that were interested in his older works plus they wanted him to do some newer pieces in that style. He was quite amused at how he's gone full circle:

and here's a video featuring those pieces:

Not sure if this has been done before but if not, what's your favorite civil war art and why? I started another thread trying to narrow some choices down but those were prints that were available. Here's some I'd love to get but are sold out:


Battle Above the Clouds
Lookout Mountain, Tennessee November 24, 1863:
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_197_2.jpg?91682

Jackson Commandeers the Railroad
Martinsburg, Virginia, June, 1861:
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_408_2.jpg?93687

Iron Horses, Men of Steel
Winchester, Virginia, June, 1861:
http://www.mortkunstler.com/product_images/med_405_2.jpg?59347


So what are your favorites? Or, which battle or scene that you have read about would you love to persuade your favorite artist to do?

[Simmy]

I have several, but I think my favorite is this one

for Erin and Glory

[Stealhead]

I like the idea of making this a general military art thread.

Aviation and Naval subjects are a bit more my speed.


Here is a nice one of an F-86 about to enter an engagement.I like the added detail of the tanks dropping and the fuel spray.

I guess "Your favorite military art" would be sufficient.

Sorted.

[Oberon]

Now here we go!

Now, one of my favourite artists has to be Terence Cuneo, famed for his railway work, but he also did art during the war as well as working as a sapper. In a lot of his works after 1956 there is often a small mouse included somewhere in the painting, and if you ever find a post-'56 Cuneo, much time can be spent searching for the mouse. :haha:

So, here we go:

And, he continued painting after the war, becoming the official artist for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

There will be other pictures that I'll post, but that's probably my favourite artist. His railway work is fantastic as well, and even if you don't like trains, the atmosphere involved is quite lovely.

[Oberon]

Ok, here are some more. I'd have put them in with the others but Firefox decided it wanted to take a nap and went into go-slow mode. So we'll start over.

David Shepherd. More well known for his wildlife paintings, as well as being another railway artist, he has also taken his brush towards the military.

And last but not least, some random art that I have found in my time that I have enjoyed.

http://www.luijken.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/dangeroustakeoff.jpg
Dangerous Take off - 'Wiek' (http://www.luijken.com/) I first stumbled across this one while looking for a suitable opening image for our Lolwaffles Netherlands campaign.

http://img52.exs.cx/img52/39/apache1.jpg
Deliverance - Dru Blair (http://www.drublair.com/products/deliverance) I have a fondness for the Apache, and this picture makes me very happy.

http://www.oliversart.co.uk/acatalog/images/jpgs-lrg/stuart_brown/008_harrier_gr3-field_trip.jpg
GR3 Field Trip - Stuart Brown. This is more of a place-holder than anything although I do like the image. I once had a picture of a Harrier hovering in a forest in (presumably) West Germany. However the interwebs has failed me on this one, and I have no idea where the picture is now.

http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/044/5/f/The_Channel_Fleet_by_Radojavor.jpg
Channel Fleet February 1889 - RadoJavor (http://radojavor.deviantart.com) As I've already mentioned I'm a big fan of the mid to late Victorian era steamships and pre-dreadnoughts (and dreadnoughts themselves for that matter) and I do love this piece. This artist is well worth checking out, he has done concept artwork for the Total War series, some of which you might recognise.

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/173/5/3/teaser1_by_joewight.jpg
teaser1 - Joewight (http://joewight.deviantart.com) I quite liked this one for the atmosphere and the fact that it looked almost like a cell from an anime. Joe Wight has done quite a few nice scenes, including a series about Pearl Harbour which are worth a look at. Star Wars and Zombie fans should find things to their liking in there as well.

And last but certainly not least, rOEN911, he posts these on the simhq forum but he has his own dA account too, it's hard to pick just one, but I do like:

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/185/c/5/missed_the_party_by_roen911-d3d7z7v.jpg
Missed the Party - rOEN911 (http://roen911.deviantart.com) It's not often that cockpit shots are attempted, and whilst I do believe that this is either a 3D or a sim-based shot, the actual output is quite lovely indeed.


There, I shall stop spamming you with pictures now and wait for other people to bring their favourites in. :up:

[Stealhead]

Here is a pretty good one from 1944 it is a portrait of a real life Marine painted by an artist/war correspondent Tom Lea. "The 2,000 Yard Stare"
http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q527/datsun260zyojimbo/Stare2_zps3d8b3a4d.jpg (http://s1162.photobucket.com/user/datsun260zyojimbo/media/Stare2_zps3d8b3a4d.jpg.html)

These paintings where based on things that Lea saw on Peleliu.

Here is one for the Swedes that I found on Devinart

They say that only those who have seen war can truly come closer to understanding it. Those are very emotional works, very powerful. Thank you for posting them.

Sure thing.I remember seeing the two by Lea in a Time/Life book about WWII a long time ago I never really forgot them.There was another drawing in that book that a POW of the Japanese drew it showed a scene where the Japanese had forced the Americans to bury alive these men that where dying.Strange how weapons of war are so fascinating when you think about it.I have also seen drawings and paintings of Hiroshima so the coin lands on both sides when it comes to brutality. It is what it is I suppose and I personally see nothing wrong with having an interest in military history and technology through the ages.I have spent the better part of my life having such interests.

I found another painting with a similar style to the Apache on the river only this is a B-1B flying very low over a lake but I recon it might be the same artist.EDIT it is Dru Blair as well I did see that you posted his name up there.

Channel Fleet February 1889 - RadoJavor
A pair of 'Admiral' class barbette ships. Probably one of the middle four, certainly not Benbow as she only had the single 16.25" gun fore and aft, and probably not Collingwood as the guns appear to be 13.5" rather than the 12" she carried. :sunny:

I need to get a copy of that one.

That is the kind of view I had every single day in the USAF see all that ground support equipment AGE? That was my job to work on all of that equipment "No Power Without Ground Power". The artist sort messed the Age gear up though he has a heater in the shot but it is not exactly correct and the F-4 would always have a Dash 60 gas turbine generator/bleed air cart and that is missing and the stand in the background is supposed to be a B4 stand but it looks a bit off.Also back in 1976 all the ground support gear was painted yellow.Also you would never have equipment hooked up to an aircraft and leave it unattended there should be some crew chiefs freezing their butts off.

Not really to say that the art is bad though it just is not fully accurate.Another detail missed is that in the US military any aircraft parked on a tarmac must have a fire extinguisher placed within 20 feet in front of the nose of the aircraft not the kind you find in a building find you a larger one that can be towed by hand like a cart.That F-4 also lacks wheel chocks I am surprised I missed that chocks are the first thing the crew chiefs place as soon as the plane stops moving.

Here is a better example of flight line activity this time an F-105D that yellow thing behind the two airman? That is a high pressure air cart better known as a Highpack you also have low pressure air carts called Lowpacks.F-105s used a different starting system than F-4s I think Thuds where cartridge started while F-4s where started via bleed air like most modern fighters larger aircraft like C-5 have their own APU that starts the engines.The B-52 is the most demanding ground support wise it needs two dash 60s for bleed air and one Dash 86 diesel generator for electrical.

The only thing is typically we would salute each other not wave ground crew saluting the aircrew is something of an art form with lots of showman ship of course still having military discipline most of the time anyway.Also in Thailand back during Vietnam the ground crew very often worked shirtless.I know a few old timers that where at the Royal Thai bases back then fun times but also a lot of very hard work.

Yes, I got Keith Ferris's book back in the early 80's and that one quickly became one of my favorites. The write up about what it took to finally figure out this particular view point was equally engrossing especially taking into account this was back in the days when computers were not so accessible.

[mako88sb]

I was wondering when some Napoleonic paintings would show up. Must be a much more challenging subject with some of the elaborate uniforms back then. Here's one I really like:

due to some extremely confusing and irresponsible merging of threads I found this one way too late :O:
What has always caught my attention are Theo Matejko drawings:

German propaganda poster from 1939 (not my favorite but gives you the idea)
http://www.1939.pl/galerie/plakaty/niemieckie/anglio-twoje-dzielo-plakat.jpg
It says:
England! It's your work!
(you can recognize the man on the right, can't you?:D)

and my favorite one (couldn't google it so I scanned it from one of my books):

the title:
Arm to arm - General and Grenadier

Really like this painting about a Hurricane over Burma. You could note Patoruzu (a popular cartoon in Argentina in the `40s) in the nose.

It was in my desk for over a year.

Somewhat an over looked theater of operations the UK and Commonwealth fighting in Burma and Southeast Asia.

Except perhaps in Australia I read a book about Aussie campaigns in the PTO and they clearly had very extensive information to the point that they where able to ID the men shown in most every photo used in the book.

There where some interesting uniforms used by some units during the fist year or so of the Civil War.One was the Zouave uniform some units on both sides wore them with some variation.Of course this type of fancy get up soon feel out of favor.
