description: Title: Our <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">heaven</u> born banner / painted by Wm. Bauly ; lith. of Sarony, Major &amp; Knapp, 449 Broadway, N.Y. <ul> <li>Creator(s): Sarony, Major &amp; Knapp Lith., lithographer</li> <li>Related Names: Bauly, William , artist; Schaus, William , publisher</li> <li>Date Created/Published: [New York] : Published by W[illiam] Schaus, 749 Broadway New York, c1861.</li> <li>Medium: 1 print on wove paper : lithograph printed <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> colors ; image 25.2 x 32.3 cm.</li> <li>Summary: A pro-Union patriotic print, evidently based on Frederic Edwin Church's small oil painting "Our Banner <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the Sky" or on a chromolithograph reproducing that painting published <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> New York by Goupil &amp; Co. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the summer of 1861. Church's painting was inspired by the highly publicized Confederate insult to the American flag at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fort_Sumter" class="extiw" title="en:Battle of Fort Sumter">Fort Sumter</a> <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> April 1861 and by a sermon by Henry Ward Beecher published shortly thereafter. The present print was deposited for copyright, with a companion piece, "Fate of the Rebel Flag" (no. 1861-21), on September 6. "Our <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">heaven</u> Born Banner" shows a lone Zouave sentry watching from a promontory as the dawn breaks <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the distance. His rifle and bayonet form the staff of an American flag whose design and colors are formed by the sky's light. Below, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the distance, is a fort--probably Sumter. The print is accompanied by eight lines of verse:</li> </ul> <dl> <dd><dl><dd>When Freedom from her mountain height / Unfurled her standard to the air, / She tore the azure robe of night / And set the stars of glory there. / She mingled with its gorgeous dyes / The milky baldrick of the skies, / And striped its pure celestial white / With streakings of the morning light.</dd></dl></dd> <dd>Unlike its companion piece, "Our <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">heaven</u> Born Banner" is printed using brown instead of black ink for the primary tone.</dd> </dl> <ul> <li>Reproduction Number: LC-USZC4-12417 (color film copy transparency) LC-USZ62-91440 (b&amp;w film copy neg.)</li> <li>Rights Advisory: No known restrictions on publication.</li> <li>Call Number: PGA - Sarony, Major &amp; Knapp--Our <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">heaven</u>...

description: <div class="description"> The visionary text of St. John the Evangelist's Apocalypse, the final book of the New Testament, inspired these images of salvation, sin, and divine retribution. A large number of illustrated volumes of the Apocalypse appeared <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> Northern Europe, especially <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> England, after the year 1240--perhaps reflecting a fear of the world's end. These miniatures come from a manuscript produced <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> Lorraine, then artistically influenced by English models.</div>

description: <div class="description"> <p>This painting focuses upon the struggle between good and evil for the soul of a young woman. Looking out at the viewer, she is shown <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the upper center of the composition, immediately below an angel and directly above Satan. At the upper right Saint Michael-holding scales for weighing the goodness of souls-admits the Blessed to <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">heaven</u>. Below, the Damned struggle to avoid the firey pits of Hell and the demons that will torment them for eternity. </p> At the time Tassaert painted this work, France was undergoing considerable political upheaval. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> 1848, the country was wracked by a civil <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">war</u> between royalist and republican forces. Tassaert himself believed strongly <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">in</u> the Republic, and probably intended the young woman-caught between the sensual, worldy temptations of royalist excesses and the noble, pure ideals of the Republic-to personify the country of France.</div>
