EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Orchard Knob from Mission Ridge, 1864/66" was taken by George N. Barnard during the American Civil War. The image is an albumen print, plate 10 from the album "Photographic Views of the Sherman Campaign" (1866), showcasing Barnard's exceptional talent as a photographer. The scene captures a significant moment in history - the Battle of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From this vantage point on Mission Ridge, we are presented with a breathtaking view of Orchard Knob and its surrounding landscape. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that adds depth to the composition. Amidst the devastation caused by war, nature stands resiliently in this photograph. Tall trees dotting the ridge serve as silent witnesses to the fierce battle that once raged below them. Their presence reminds us of both the beauty and fragility of our surroundings amidst human conflict. Barnard's artistic eye captures not only historical events but also evokes emotions through his lens. This particular print showcases his mastery in capturing both natural landscapes and moments of intense human struggle. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago, this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past while highlighting Barnard's contribution to photography as an art form during one of America's most tumultuous periods - all preserved for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon their heritage.
