Interesting; never seen that before. Tomorrow June 6th will be the 154th anniversary of Quantrill's death in a hospital in Louisville, KY. He had been shot thru the spinal cord & was paralyzed.
For whatever reason I knew that anniversary was coming up and was poking around this morning and found the painting for the first time, myself.

Jack Vettriano, born Jack Hoggan, is a Scottish painter. His 1992 painting, The Singing Butler, became a best-selling image in Britain.
Vettriano, was Hoggan's mother's maiden name, he adopted it when he was 36, it proved to be inspirational. Chances are that I have posted some of his work here before, I hate the memory fail that comes with old age. But his work is worth a second airing:

From his website I was also impressed with these two, BB. And lots of American Revolution paintings. Thanks for bringing Troiani forward.Don Troiani "One of Quantrill's Raiders"

Yes, yes indeed!! Nice to see these!!!!
You're welcome. I've posted a few from him after coming across him about a year ago. I really like some of the Revolutionary War prints.
The Redoubt" During the closing moments of the battle of Bunker/Breed's Hill the British Marines and 47th Foot storm over the side of the Patriot redoubt and Dr. Joseph Warren (light blue silk waistcoat and white breeches) is about to meet his fate. This was one of the toughest I ever did model and research wise. Jim Kochan provided (as always) critical primary research on the Marines and other many things and Joel organized the models and provided many extra needed props. Also thanks to the models , particularly the British who got sore knees jumping off the walls!

I love the flag for the Irish Brigade. Just re-watching Burns' Civil War series, I learn something new every time I see it.

Me too. That's what I liked about that painting. I think it's all the flags during the opening scene to "Gods and Generals" & the George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) quote that I like so much too. Plus Mary Fahl's version of "Going Home" was a favorite song of my mom's. Still gets me!

Dr. Warren is referenced in a song by Mandolin Orange called "Wildfire", about the division of the country over slavery after we originally fought for freedom in the Revolution.The Redoubt" During the closing moments of the battle of Bunker/Breed's Hill the British Marines and 47th Foot storm over the side of the Patriot redoubt and Dr. Joseph Warren (light blue silk waistcoat and white breeches) is about to meet his fate.

Does he sing about the Morrill Tariff Act of 1861 that was favored by the northern industrialists & factory workers as a way to create rapid industrial growth & raise wages for the workers, but amounted to a 40% federal sales tax on imports to the southern agricultural planter states forcing them to buy those goods from the industrial north? And that the Morrill import taxes were collected at Fort Sumter which just happened to be where the first volley of shots were fired, starting the Civil War? All facts not quite in the "current spin".

They originally had that in the third verse, but they were having trouble getting it to rhyme and it needed to be cut for airplay.
(Sorry -- I get your well stated point, but sometimes can't help myself)

I really enjoy listening to Mandolin Orange, but unfortunately they frequently adopt political and religious views into their songs that I don't appreciate. That seems to be the trend with many entertainers (especially college-educated ones) these days. I'm not making a comment on this song, slavery, or The War of Northern Aggression specifically, just their views in general.
