Product Details:

The Hanging (The Last Words of Nathan Hale) by Felix O. C. Darley captures the patriotic sacrifice of the young American spy during the Revolutionary War. The image shows Hale standing bound but upright and composed, moments before his execution by the British in 1776, surrounded by officers, soldiers, and onlookers whose varied expressions range from pity to detachment. Darley emphasizes Hale’s courage and serenity, presenting him almost as a martyr figure, echoing the legendary last words, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” Through its solemn tone and careful staging, the work transforms a grim historical event into a symbol of heroic devotion to liberty.
