Mort Künstler – The High Water Mark Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Item Description
Offered here is a dramatic custom-framed open edition print titled The High Water Mark by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler. This powerful battlefield scene captures one of the most decisive and symbolic moments of the Civil War—the Confederate Army’s farthest advance during the Battle of Gettysburg, often referred to as the “high-water mark” of the Confederacy.
Künstler masterfully conveys the intensity of close-range combat, with soldiers clashing amid smoke, cannon fire, and flying flags—bringing to life the turning point of the battle with remarkable realism and emotion.
