Description
This scene is taken from the Civil War battlefield of Antietam. The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, was fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It is the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with a combined tally of dead, wounded, and missing at 22,717. Our struggle for a "More Perfect Union" has not been without tragedies.
This is part of my photographic art series. When creating digital art, I use one of my photographs and a combination of several digital tools to create the desired output. It gives me great satisfaction, and sometimes fun, to produce one of these artworks which would look wonderful in any home or office.
