Product Details:

General Arnold Wounded at the Battle of Bemis Heights by Alonzo Chappel captures the dramatic moment in October 1777 when Benedict Arnold, leading a fierce charge against British positions at Saratoga, was struck in the leg by a musket ball. The painting emphasizes Arnold’s courage and energy in battle, portraying him mounted and commanding with vigor as chaos unfolds around him, a reminder that his bold leadership helped secure the American victory that forced Burgoyne’s surrender. Chappel heightens the irony of the scene by immortalizing Arnold at the height of his heroism—before his later betrayal forever marked his name with infamy.
