Mort Künstler – “The World Turned Upside Down” Custom Framed Print 15" x 18"
Product Overview
Offered here is a beautifully custom-framed open edition print titled “The World Turned Upside Down” by renowned historical artist Mort Künstler.
This powerful and historically significant composition captures the pivotal moment at the British surrender at Yorktown (1781)—effectively ending the Revolutionary War. The scene reflects the dramatic turning point when British forces, under General Cornwallis, surrendered to the combined American and French armies led by George Washington.
The title references the legendary tune said to have been played during the surrender, symbolizing the complete reversal of fortunes and the birth of a new nation.
Künstler masterfully brings this moment to life with remarkable detail, balance, and storytelling—placing the viewer directly in one of the most defining moments in American history.
