Cavalry Charge by dgt

USA - Washington DC - Capitolio - Ulysses S. Grant Memorial - (Henry Merwin Shrady (sculptor) and William Pearce Casey (architect), 1901-1922) To the left of Grant is the dramatic portrayal of the Artillery Group. Three horses and five men bring forward a cannon but the bridal of the lead horse has broken. While the other two horses attempt to stop, the third plunges ahead causing the driver to lose control. The three riders appear both anxious and resigned as they brace themselves to be pitched to the side. Everything and everyone is destabilized. Even terrain under the cart is uneven and rutted. Both the Artillery and the Cavalry groups leave the visitor with narrative questions that will never be answered. via 500px http://j.mp/1xa76RO
