The Shooting of General Braddock at Fort Duquesne, Pittsburgh, 1755
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Edwin Willard Deming that depicts a pivotal moment in American history. The scene portrays the ambush of French and Indian troops on British forces during the Battle of Monongahela on July 9th, 1755. In this dramatic artwork, we witness the chaos and violence that unfolded as two-thirds of the British force were either killed or wounded. General Edward Braddock, a prominent figure in the conflict, stands at the center of attention as he falls victim to enemy fire. This event marked a significant French victory over the British and had far-reaching consequences for both nations. Deming's skillful brushwork brings life to this historical event, capturing not only its brutality but also its complexity. The painting showcases Native American Indians fighting alongside French soldiers against colonial forces from Britain's North American colonies. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for control over these lands. It serves as a reminder of our nation's turbulent past and highlights the struggles faced by early settlers in their quest for dominance in America. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Deming's masterful interpretation while reflecting on an important chapter in American history that shaped our nation into what it is today.
