Description
DAVID EDWARD CRONIN (NEW YORK, 1839-1925) CIVIL WAR SCENE, oil on canvas, a dynamic composition depicting a cavalry regiment executing a surprise raid in a rural setting, titled "Attack on a Confederate Stronghold" to plaque attached to frame, titled "Capture of Charles City Courthouse December 1863" to gallery label attached verso, signed and dated to rock lower right, old gallery labels for Robert M. Hicklin in Spartanburg, SC and Kennedy Galleries in New York attached verso. Housed in likely original molded-composition gilt frame retaining Earles Gallery, Philadelphia framer's label. Circa 1866. 23 1/2" x 35 1/2" sight, 33 1/4" x 45 1/4" OA.
Excellent visual condition, lined, with L-shaped tear and repair to lower center affecting reclining figure and horse's hindquarters, small area of inpainting above one building. Frame with minor wear and losses.
Provenance: A Virginia private collection.
Catalogue Note: Born in Greenwich, New York, David Edward Cronin (1839-1925) was an important 19th-century artist, illustrator, and journalist. During the Civil War he was a Union officer with the 1st New York Mounted Rifles and even served a Provost Marshall of Williamsburg during its occupation. He also worked as a staff artist for Harper's Weekly under the psuedonym Seth Eyland during this time. The present painting likely depicts a December 13, 1863 raid at Charles City Courthouse in Virginia carried out by the 1st New York Mounted Rifles (Cronin's unit) in which over 100 Confederate soldiers, many from prominent Richmond families, were taken captive.
