Printed from an original oil painting commissioned by the Corresponding Studies Class of 1990, US Army War College, Carlisle, PA.

This print depicts Stonewall Jackson and his staff, on horseback, at his command post at the Dunker Church during the Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862. Intense shelling disturbs the ranks as the wounded are tended near the church’s stone walls.

Mort Kunstler’s (1927 – 2025) career spanned seven decades; he will perhaps be remembered for his paintings of the Civil War. Born into a European Jewish family (some sources state date of birth as 1931), his interest in drawing was sparked during his youth. While attending Brooklyn College, he focused on sports and excelled in football, track & field and swimming which led to a scholarship to attend the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). However, after his father suffered a heart attack, Mort returned home where he enrolled at the Pratt Institute to resume his artist interest. An excursion to Mexico on a motorcycle with a classmate, led to further experience painting and after graduation, he landed a position at Neeley Associates Illustration Studio as an apprentice. He became a freelance artist and found work for various men's adventure magazines, in addition to artwork for paperbacks. This led to opportunities with The Saturday Evening Post and National Geographic Magazine. During the 1970s, he produced movie posters for the motion pictures The Poseidon Adventure (1972) and The Taking of Pelham, One Two, Three (1974). His Civil War artwork became official US Postage Stamps during the 1990s. In 2011, his portrayal of George Washington crossing the Delaware River was unveiled. His works are displayed in museums nationwide, as well as in Canada and Europe.  Does not have an artist's COA. [ld][ph:L]
