Product Details:

The Lost Cause is a poetic tribute to the middle-class farmers of the South who fought and lost the Civil War. The painting takes as its subject the devastation of the war in the South as it affected, not the wealthy plantation owner, but rather the yeoman farmer of the highlands. Mosler placed the sagging Confederate veteran—head bowed, leaning on his musket and awkwardly attired in heavy seasonal gear—outside a deserted log cabin. The dilapidated structure stands in a landscape teeming with the promise of spring, a powerful and poignant contrast to the soldier’s obvious despair.
