However, I agree with your comment: it was how I saw the art. I'm a great believer in seeing what's there in a piece of art, and not relying upon what others have written. What you describe was clear to me when I saw this powerful piece. That was one of the reasons I wrote the blog article. Joe Patrick,

Look close! The museum label or plaque says the soldier has been shot & has blood on his horse however that's not true! As an artist one can clearly see that the soldier is dying in a hail of bullets & that one of the rounds has hit the horse's rump! Look closer! See??? The dust clouds about are bullets hitting the ground & not the dust from the other cavalry man riding away! Only a scholar & not a seasoned warrior would make such a mistake! I'm confident Remington would agree with me! Note: I'm a published artist & illustrator, history buff & Civil War Reenactor veteran/Gettysburg 145th. Bachelor of Science Degree/Archaeology.
