Don Troiani's Civil War paintings collection is a perfect example of why he is considered by many to be the premier Civil War artist today. The book showcases almost all of Troiani’s collection of Civil War paintings from the last several decades and, it helps enhance one’s imagination in regards to uniforms and layouts of some of the wars most iconic moments.
Almost all of Don Troiani’s paintings are wonderfully depicted in this book; the colors are vibrant and engaging, the pages glossy and eye-catching, and the text by Brian Pohanka is absolutely first-rate. The different landscapes and scenes that Troiani has brought to life is often what I think of when imaging a Civil War battle or soldier, and for my money, Troiani is the best of the best when it comes to Civil War recreation scenes. Others like Mort Kunstler and Dale Gallon have done some fine work themselves on the Civil War, but Troiani is the first name that I think of when it comes to Civil War art. This book more than does Troiani’s work justice, but just know that not all of the artists’ work is represented here in one volume. I am not sure if the plan was to bring along another book, but I know that not all Troiani’s work is presented in this collection. This is simply a minor complaint on my part, but I just wanted to make the purchaser aware.
There is definitely no way that any fan of Civil War art could be disappointed with this collection and its packaging. The book was so well done that it made me go and purchase three of Dons’ paintings after looking at them for so long; I have Barksdale’s Assault, Southern Cross and High Water Mark, and they all look tremendous on my wall! An absolutely great addition to any art lovers collection.
