Great stuff. Back when I used to teach American military history I would pair Callot's "Miseries of War" series with the descriptions of the Anglo-Powhatan wars.
More recently I've come to a greater appreciation of the eighteenth century artwork of Hubert Robert - in some ways he seems to have prefigured the Hudson River School.

I’ll have to check out Robert.
Love this! Reading about historical events through the eyes of art, artists, or average humans is ALWAYS fantastic!
