Mort Künstler – “Angel of Marye's Heights” Custom Framed Print 15” x 18”
Mort Künstler – Angel of Marye’s Heights Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Item Description
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled Angel of Marye’s Heights by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This deeply moving and historically significant artwork depicts one of the most courageous acts of humanity during the Civil War. Inspired by the Battle of Fredericksburg, the scene honors Sgt. Richard Kirkland—known as the “Angel of Marye’s Heights”—who risked his life to bring water to wounded Union soldiers lying between the lines.
Künstler masterfully captures this moment of compassion amid chaos, illustrating not just the brutality of war, but the profound humanity that can rise above it. The composition is powerful, emotional, and unforgettable—making it one of his most meaningful works.
