Mort Künstler “Perry Boards The Niagara” – Custom Framed Print 17" x 20"
Product Details
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “Perry Boards The Niagara” by acclaimed historical artist Mort Künstler.
This dramatic maritime scene captures the legendary moment during the Battle of Lake Erie (War of 1812) when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry transfers from his disabled flagship to the USS Niagara under enemy fire. The composition is filled with movement, urgency, and courage, as Perry and his crew navigate open waters in a small boat amidst the chaos of battle.
Künstler’s attention to historical detail, combined with his ability to convey action and tension, brings this iconic American naval moment vividly to life—making it a powerful and visually compelling piece.
