Below are four famous Conrad Wise Chapman paintings with captions

Chapman's painting of Fort Sumter late in the war, reduced to rubble
but defiant with flag still flying, and Charleston, unconquered and unbowed,
in the background.
 

Fort Sumter with lone sentry standing watch beneath a tattered Stainless Banner,
the second national flag of the Confederacy, looking out at the ships of the invaders
blockading Charleston Harbor.
 

Chapman's view of Charleston from Fort Johnson with Confederate ironclads,
Palmetto State and Chicora, in the foreground. It was in these same waters that the
CSS Hunley sank for the first time killing five of its eight-man crew.
 

Chapman's famous picture of the Confederate submarine, CSS Hunley,
the first submarine in history to sink an enemy ship in combat.
