Mort Künstler – “The Fairfax Raid” Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Product Details
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “The Fairfax Raid” by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This dramatic Civil War scene captures a daring nighttime cavalry raid set against a snow-covered landscape. Riders surge through the darkness as warm light spills from a building, creating a striking contrast between the cold blue tones of winter and the glow of action unfolding.
Künstler masterfully conveys urgency and movement—horses in full stride, soldiers pressing forward, and the chaos of a surprise engagement—bringing this bold and cinematic moment vividly to life.
