Mort Künstler – “Cross Over The River” Custom Framed Print 15” x 18”
Mort Künstler – Cross Over the River Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Item Description
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled Cross Over the River by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This deeply moving and contemplative scene captures a lone Confederate soldier standing beside his horse at the edge of a quiet river, surrounded by the warm glow of autumn foliage. The stillness of the moment, paired with the dramatic backdrop, evokes themes of reflection, fate, and the emotional weight of war.
Unlike traditional battlefield imagery, this piece offers a quiet, introspective perspective, making it one of Künstler’s most poetic and atmospheric works.
