• Lot Description
  Framed. In good condition. Signed and dated on the front. Edition number 512/600. Robert Gottlieb Collection2023 - Shchukin Gallery This is an edition print, 512/600. The subject of the original painting revolves around the 2nd Louisiana Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General William E. Starke, which was involved in significant fighting during the Battle of Antietam, which took place on September 17, 1862. The brigade was part of Stonewall Jackson's command, and during the battle, it clashed with the Iron Brigade, a unit of the Union Army known for its strong fighting reputation. This engagement occurred across the Hagerstown Pike, a key location at the western edge of the battlefield. Starke's brigade, along with other Confederate forces, was part of the southern sector of the battlefield, and it faced intense Union assaults.During the battle, Starke was mortally wounded, sustaining three gunshots, and he died shortly after the engagement. His death was one of several general casualties in the battle, marking a tragic moment in Confederate leadership. The intense fighting around the Hagerstown Pike contributed to the significant casualties of the battle, which remains one of the bloodiest single days in American history.Keith Rocco is an American artist specializing in historical and military subjects, with a particular focus on the Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War, and World War II. Rocco's works are characterized by their narrative approach, often emphasizing the human aspects of warfare, such as the emotional experiences of soldiers. His paintings aim to capture significant historical events with a focus on the drama and intensity of battle scenes.Rocco's style draws on both 19th-century traditions of military art and modern storytelling techniques. His works are informed by detailed historical research and are recognized for their accuracy, though they also evoke emotional and psychological dimensions of warfare. In addition to being featured in numerous exhibitions, his paintings are housed in collections such as the United States Military Academy at West Point and the National Infantry Museum. 29.25*33.75/ 20.25*25 in
