Description:
After Henry Mosler (American, 1841-1920), "The Lost Cause", oil on canvas, unsigned, 18 in. x 26 in., in a period frame.
- Notes: Note: Born in New York City into a family of Jewish immigrants, Henry Mosler gained early recognition for his work as a Civil War illustrator for Harper's Weekly newspaper. After the war, Mosler furthered his art training in Europe. In 1866 he returned to America and painted "The Lost Cause", which earned him national acclaim as an artist. After the War, Confederate soldiers found defeat on the battlefield and on a personal level, when they returned home to find their houses, and livelihoods damaged or destroyed. Mosler's painting of "The Lost Cause" conveyed the sadness and despair in the aftermath of the war for the South. This painting is one of several 19th c. copies of the popular and sentimental Mosler masterpiece.
