Military art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- "Military art" can mean the study of combat in a professional sense; see military science for that connotation.
Military art often served the purpose of documentation of battles in a time before the existence of documentary tools, such as the camera and modern journalism. Many of the great artists have produced military art. Along with literature and some remaining artifacts in museums and private collections, these works also allow us to see the superb military uniforms of the period, admire the courage and cameraderie of the men who fought, and experience the horror of the great battles.
