Artist: Don Troiani

Don Troiani is considered one of the most significant modern artists/historians specializing in the Civil War. Troiani owns an extensive collection of Civil War uniforms, insignia, weapons and equipment he uses to ensure his painting are period-correct in every detail. In addition, he devotes years to researching unit records, examining 1860s topographic surveys, and searching for weather reports from the day of the battle. To bring his illustrations to life, he routinely uses live models dressed in authentic uniforms to capture the natural drape of the fabric along with the folds reflecting the strain of carrying heavy packs and weapons. Troiani is recognized for his flawless historical accuracy. Museums, academics, and re-enactors often refer to his illustrations as primary visual references. His paintings are displayed at the National Civil War Museum, West Point Military Museum, the Smithsonian Museum of American History, and the Pentagon.

Artist: Bradley Schmehl

Bradley Schmehl is an artist whose many interests include the history and depiction of the American Civil War. He gathers ideas for his paintings by studying period histories, diaries and soldiers’ letters. Initially, Schmehl creates detailed pencil sketches at the actual site of the battlefield. The use of human models - to ensure poses are natural and historically accurate -are engaged and photographed before his first brush stroke. His many figured paintings depict individuals of varying features and expressions. His use of light and contrasting color tones suggest the gravity of the moment. A Civil War reenactor, on occasion Schmehl’s face can be found in his paintings.

The artist’s paintings are on display in the Delaware State Museum, the Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army War College, and the Philadelphia Convention Center.
