This website allows us to explore a wide range of images and objects that depict or relate to the war between the Union and the Confederacy-the most deadly war in the history of the United States. Artists tried to depict the war using a variety of artistic styles and diverse materials, from oil paint to bronze, and from photography to engravings. Today, as the works of art collected here show so movingly, these pieces continue to remind us of the power and significance of this momentous time in American history.
