The Muzzleloaders in Art Thread

[CountryGent]

The art museum I was visiting not long ago had a painting I found interesting. I couldn't help but notice the wheellock in the piece, so took a close up:





Any works of art featuring a front-stuffer you like? Can be in person, a book, this'a'here new fangled Intratubes, or whatever. Enjoy.

The "Dragon" / Serpent side plate found on Northwest Tradeguns can be seen as works of art.

I've got a print I picked up at a Friends of NRA banquet several years ago. It's titled "Silenced Honkers" by Paul Calle. I plucked the image off of the Internet. My print is matted and framed. I think the red coat really makes the scene "pop".

I believe a number of Cameron Blaggs paintings show Muzzle loaders.

"La defensa de Zaragoza", by David Wilkie. The central figure is Agustina de Aragón, who was a heroine, and subject of folklore, during the Peninsular War era. She is sort of Spanish Joan of Arc, though her later years were more pleasant than the French lady. Anywho, I've liked this painting and figured it sort of fit the theme.

This contemporary painting is by the Catalonian artist Augusto Ferrer-Dalmau of the aforementioned historic figure.

Came across this one by happenstance and found it kind of neato.

An illustration from the 1892 book The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life.


And hunting on the Oregon trail as depicted in "artwork" from 1985. Sorry, couldn't resist.
