About the piece
Painted in 1862, 'In Front of Yorktown' is a masterful example of Winslow Homer's early work as a war correspondent. The painting captures a quiet, somber moment of rest for Union soldiers, utilizing a dramatic play of light and shadow from the central campfire to highlight the weariness and introspection of the men amidst the dark Virginia woods.
