Remastered Art General Ulysses S Grant by Ole Peter Hansen Balling 20220517
Ulysses S. Grant (born Hiram Ulysses Grant; April 27, 1822 - July 23, 1885) was the 18th President of the United States (1869-77). As Commanding General (1864–69), Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. Supported by Congress, Grant implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African American citizenship, and support economic prosperity. His presidency has often been criticized for tolerating corruption and for the severe economic depression in his second term. -wikipedia
Born in Kristiania (now Oslo), Ole Peter Hansen Balling was a student of Norwegian artist Ferdinand Jonas Gjøs (1790-1852) and trained under Danish decorative painter Jacob Emilius Wunderlich (1809-1892). He was a student at art academies both at the Academy of Arts, Berlin (1843-1845) and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen (1846-1848) and in 1854 studied with Thomas Couture in Paris. He made his debut at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1852. Balling volunteered in the Schleswig-Holstein War and became a Danish officer in 1848. He emigrated to the United States in 1856, where he lived until 1874. He commanded the 145th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War. Balling depicted several Union Army generals, including a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant and another painting of Grant and his generals, and portraits of Philip Sheridan, John Sedgwick, and James S. Wadsworth. In addition, he created portraits of prominent American statesmen, including presidents Chester Arthur and James Garfield. -wikipedia
