In our conversation about the painting, we focused on the content and context of the painting. We mentioned the techniques and color schemes Hamilton used to create the image. We tried to connect the methods to an overall meaning and symbolism of the key components of the painting. We didn’t spend time talking about the reason Hamilton decided to create painting instead of photograph of the event. Additionally, we didn’t discuss his possible motivations for recreating this plausible scene in history. We also wonder whose perspective this image comes from: the winners, the losers, or a neutral party.
