EDITORS COMMENTS
A Night March, Plate 16 from 'Life Studies of the Great Army', 1876 captures a haunting scene set in the depths of darkness during a time of war. This black and white etching by Edwin Austin Forbes, an American artist known for his detailed military illustrations, showcases the power and intensity of armed forces in action. In this image, soldiers march through a dense forest illuminated solely by flickering flames. The chiaroscuro technique employed here adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing both light and shadow. As they traverse through the eerie landscape, their determined faces reveal their unwavering commitment to duty. The presence of horses further enhances the sense of urgency as these noble creatures gallop alongside their human counterparts. Amidst the chaos, nature itself seems to be engulfed in turmoil with trees on fire and smoke billowing into the night sky. Forbes skillfully captures not only the physicality but also conveys a deeper emotional resonance within this artwork. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and bravery exhibited by those who serve their country during times of conflict. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print is part of Forbes' larger series 'Life Studies of the Great Army'. Through his meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shade, Forbes immortalizes an important chapter in American history while paying tribute to those who fought valiantly.
