    You have been found guilty of treason against the United States. For your punishment, you will be forced to talk like a Bostonian and never use an R for the rest of your life.

    So, it’s agreed. You guys travel to the fields of Gettysburg and I will arrange a big reception.

    According to the Met’s page about it at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/11133, we’ve got a real incident here. “Brigadier General Francis Channing Barlow (1834–1896) captured several Confederate officers on June 21, 1864.” Why Homer only shows some of them is a mystery.

    Would you like to see it in person? No problem. “On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 762.”

    There’s more at http://www.winslowhomer.org/prisoners-from-the-front.jsp, where we learn that Barlow was a friend of Homer’s. Nice mutual benefit—the painting enhances Barlow’s reputation and made Homer famous at the same time.

    Last but not least, there’s sn interesting interpretation of the psinting and related works in an essay at https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/06/03/the-seething-hell from The New Yorker.

    Prisoners from the Front

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Winslow_Homer_-_Prisoners_from_the_Front.jpg 

    has info and links that point to info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting. The 2nd Notes points to the same book page as the studies link in the 1st URL from a couple days ago. Coincidence? or did Mr. Melcher find this painting there?

    http://hoocher.com/Winslow_Homer/Winslow_Homer.htm 

    all have info, or links that point to more info, about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the first URL. So far, 7 works by him have been used here (8 times, including 1 repeat). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2017/08/18?comments=visible 

    has the prior work (the repeat, my comment there had the last artist info URL).

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2169 (March 28, 2019) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    You two Yankee devils captured my whole Division with a single musket and a sword still in its scabbord? I’m beginning to doubt my men’s personal investment in this conflict.
