Grant and his Generals Canvas

Artist: Ole Peter Hansen Balling; 1865 This is a public domain image I have slightly cropped and edited in photoshop to my own liking.  The painter who originally was from Norway worked with a wealthy New Yorker to concieve the idea of painting Grant on a horse flanked by all of his top generals.  The original painting which is in the National Portrait Gallery is almost life sized.   To accomplsih this feet the painter traveled to encampents all across the country to get real life drawings of Grant and his Generals.  Grant was very accomodating in this request.  Sitter Thomas Casimer Devin, 10 Dec 1822 - 4 Apr 1878George Armstrong Custer, 5 Dec 1839 - 25 Jun 1876Hugh Judson Kilpatrick, 14 Jan 1836 - 2 Dec 1881William Hemsley Emory, 7 Sep 1811 - 1 Dec 1887Philip Henry Sheridan, 6 Mar 1831 - 5 Aug 1888James Birdseye McPherson, 14 Nov 1828 - 22 Jul 1864George Crook, 8 Sep 1828 - 21 Mar 1890Wesley Merritt, 16 Jun 1834 - 3 Dec 1910George Henry Thomas, 31 Jul 1816 - 28 Mar 1870Gouverne
