Add to the end [to read]: In a letter to Evelyn H. Smith, dated Match 17, 1938, the artist explains “The glory of the advance is epitomized in the dramatic sky. The golden light of the mid-afternoon sun breaks through the clouds and shines with bathing glory upon the flag – the color bearer and the officer. This is the genesis of the idea: that which moves, in swinging across from that point the fore-ground, is but the human foil to that glorious effort of the South. As to the terrain. Far to the right is Seminary Ridge – to the far left Cemetery Hill. And to the left also – in small detail is the Union battery and the Union flags. / Pickett’s men are advancing from West to East.
