Mort Künstler – “The Flag and Union Imperiled” Custom Framed Print 15” x 18”
Mort Künstler – Flag and Union Imperiled Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Item Description
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled Flag and Union Imperiled by acclaimed historical artist Mort Künstler. This intense battlefield scene captures the urgency and danger faced by Union artillery units as they fight to hold their position under heavy fire.
Künstler vividly portrays the chaos of combat—the blast of cannon fire, smoke-filled air, and the determined figure working under pressure—all underscored by the American flag waving in the background. The composition delivers a powerful sense of motion, courage, and the high stakes of battle.
