Mounting of the Guard, mid 19th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Redpath that transports viewers back to America's colonial era. The artwork depicts a scene at an estuary where a fortification stands tall against the backdrop of a serene landscape. Native American soldiers, dressed in traditional attire, are seen mounting guard around the fort while sailing ships and steamships navigate the nearby river. Redpath's use of color brings life to this historical moment, showcasing both the beauty of nature and the complexity of colonialism. The artist skillfully captures the tension between invaders and indigenous peoples through his portrayal of native Americans defending their occupied territory. This piece not only showcases Redpath's talent but also serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage. It invites us to reflect on our country's history, highlighting both its triumphs and its darker moments. As we gaze upon this artwork in awe, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us through time and connect us with our past. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Mounting of the Guard" stands as an important testament to Native American resilience and their role in shaping America's identity. This painting serves as a poignant reminder that understanding our history is crucial for building a more inclusive future.
