About the Item
Through Shot and Shell by James Nathan Muir is a powerful and emotionally charged bronze sculpture that immerses the viewer in the chaos of a Civil War battlefield. Muir, celebrated for his historically grounded and narratively rich bronzes, portrays a soldier mid-stride as he pushes forward through danger, his expression marked by fear, determination, and exhaustion. Every detail, from the tension in his posture to the debris of broken weapons and equipment surrounding him, heightens the sense of immediacy and peril.
The sculpture’s dynamic composition and finely rendered textures demonstrate Muir’s exceptional craftsmanship and deep respect for the subject. It stands as both an artwork and a memorial to the countless soldiers who fought “through shot and shell.” The piece is signed on the base, affirming its authenticity and the artist’s hand in this moving tribute to courage and sacrifice.
