Museum of the American Revolution

In 1782 Italian artist Xavier della Gatta painted this imagined scene of the battle of Germantown, most likely for a British officer. On the right is his rendering of the Benjamin Chew House, where troops from the 40th British regiment held off the attacking Americans in some of the bloodiest fighting of the battle.

Tony Barton presented a couple of images of paintings by Gerard ter Borch in Cristian Sartori's post titled ' Renaissance Town Crier'.
My search on Google came up with many of his paintings.
I got the impression that a particular favourite of his must have been the trumpeter, who appears in many of his paintings. Here's a few more:-

Dear planeteers!

As someone who lives along the coast, I find that we should turn to the sea - and present three important German artists to you...:


Willy Stöwer (1864 - 1931)





Battle of Jutland 1916 (HMS "Black Prince" under fire of SMS "Thüringen")



Battle of Tsushima 1905 (Sinking of russian Battleship "Ossljabja")




Claus Bergen (1885 - 1964)

German U-Boat, WW1...:








Battle of Coronel 1914 (SMS "Scharnhorst" and SMS "Gneisenau" destroying HMS "Good Hope" and HMS "Monmouth"...:




Last Fight of the "Bismarck" 1941...:




Johannes Holst (1880 - 1965, he made more than 1.000 paintings!)

No other painter in history was able to paint the sea as realistic as he!



I own three original paintings of Johannes Holst:

The famous German Bark "Pamir" (sunk 1957, 80 of 86 crewmembers lost their lives)...:



The Bark "Kommodore Johnson" (today as Russian "Sedov" the greatest ship under sails in the world...:



And one of his best paintings - the "Großherzogin Sophie-Carlotte"...:






Cheers
 
Some Russian painters...:


Aleksandr Jurjewitsch Awerjanow (* 1950)











Wassilij Wassiljewitsch Werestschagin (1842 - 1904. Died during the russian-japanese war, when the Russian Flagship "Petropawlowk" was sunk by a mine. With him his friend, Admiral Stepan Ossipowitsch Makarow died.

Admiral Makarow...:




Borodino...:




"With the weapons in their hands? Shoot 'em!"




Turkestan...:




The last survivors (Part II of "Turkestan")...:





Aleksandr Iwanowitsch Jeschow (1966 - 2014)













Cheers
 
The last Russian painter I will introduce to you here is Pawel Ryshenko (* 1970).

Although Ryshenko painted historical subjects, his main focus was on the late Tsarist era, the revolution and the Russian civil war.

His pictures capture an almost photographic precision!


"Umbrella" (A girl between his parents, who had just been shot by Red Sailors, the father behind was an officer) ...:




"The last inspection" (The Czar, who has just been abducted, inspects his Cossack bodyguard, the "personal convoy" one last time, and the red flag is hoisted in the background.) ..:




"The Wreath" (A commander of the Red Riders Army prays secretly at a cross along the way) ...:




"God, Czar and Fatherland" (The painter Wassilij Wereschtschagin and his friend, the admiral Stepan Makarov in 1904 aboard the flagship "Petropavlovsk" off coast Port Arthur, just before the ship ran to a Japanese mine and went down with his entire crew). .:




"A Russian Soldier". The tsar couple at the bed of the sleeping Tsarevich ...:




"Farewell." ("White" Refugees after the fall of the provisional "white" capital Omsk, Siberia November 1919; the soldiers stay behind to cover the column)




Former Czarist officer (who now serves as a simple soldier in one of the only from officers formed regiments of the "white" troops of "Supreme Regent" Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak.) He will soon bury his old officer epaulets in Russian soil, like many former officers then did)...:




Cheers
 
The names from the last three posts have been added to the list.
Pawel Ryshenko was already on the list in post # 385 in Part 1 (spelling slightly different).
The additional pictures above have been duly linked.

Juliusz Fortunat Kossak (1824 – 1899)

A Polish artist, from whom I have a lot in my fundus, because he painted many beautiful pictures of Cossacks. Especially as he has showed horses in motion, deserves the highest recognition!

Here are some things from my archive ...:


















Cheers
 
Here som paintigs of the Artist Analoly Fjodorovich Telenik, who lives at the South Ukraine near the Black Sea.

For me most important are his very detailed cossack paintings:








...and their enemies, the famous Polish Winged Hussars...:





Mostly known is Telenik for his many paintings of the Napoleonic wars...:












But it would be wrong to reduce him only of this times!

He took many different sSujets, from ancient times...



...the mongolian rule over Russia...



...the 30 Years War...



...to modern times - in this case the Russian Civil War...:





Cheers
 
For anyone who happens to be interested in the works of Polish artists such as Brandt, Kossak, Wierusz-Kowalski, Matejko etc.., I would recommend the following site:-
http://artyzm.com/
There, apart from an Artist Index, you'll also find a Thematic Index which includes 'History' and 'Military'.
Enjoy searching.

Cheers,
Andrew
 

You're quite correct Giorgio (it was the first name listed).
However, Martin did show a different painting; and we do have a lot of room in the list for extra links.
I'll update the list tomorrow.

That is the link to the list.
For ease of location, Pawel did place it in the Sub-Forums of 'Artists & Illustrators', and it is titled 'Part 1, 2 - Index Page'.
It can be opened in Chrome, Internet or Sheets.

Cheers,
Andrew
 
Well, only this Spanish artist would fill in dozens of posts.

Initial purpose was a name, a photo, a link. . . . or am I wrong?


Impressive painting and I lost count of the created thumbnails from this picture.

impressive also the post # 33 human bridge
