Appomattox Grant Point Ulysses
EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait of Ulysses S. Grant, painted in 1885, offers a compelling visual narrative of his distinguished military career from West Point to Appomattox. Grant, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a thoughtful expression, gazes off to the left, as if reflecting on the momentous events that unfolded during his illustrious military tenure. Surrounding Grant are nine intricately detailed scenes that chronicle his military journey from his graduation from West Point in 1843, to the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House in 1865. The scenes are meticulously arranged in a clockwise pattern, starting with Grant's graduation from West Point, where he is depicted receiving his diploma. The second scene illustrates Grant's service in Mexico during the Mexican-American War, where he is shown leading an artillery crew at the Tower of Chapultepec. The following scenes depict key moments from the American Civil War, including Grant drilling volunteers in 1861, the Battle of Fort Donelson in 1862, the Battle of Shiloh in 1862, the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863, and the Battle of Chattanooga in 1863. The final scene represents the pivotal moment in Grant's military career, when he accepted the appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army from President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. This powerful portrait not only captures the essence of Grant's military prowess but also offers a poignant reminder of the pivotal role he played in shaping American history.
