Description
What at first glance appears to be a painting that portrays a number of men bathing in a river, is actually a painting that depicts a moment of complete fear. Unaware of the Federal troops in the distance, these Confederate soldiers, longing for a moment of solitude, decide to bathe in the Potomac River. Suddenly, a barrage of cannon fire, indicated by the smoke in the background, erupts. The men scramble out of the water to the nearest shoreline and frantically search for cover. Some stop to grab their clothing, while others are too scared.[1]
