Title
Civil War Military Art by Mark Maritato
Description
Mark Maritato's passion and goal is to recreate on canvas what is brought to life in the mind when reading about our nations military past. Combining diligent research and an undying passion for his craft, Mark Maritato excels in bringing true drama to his canvas. Since he was a boy, Mark Maritato has shown remarkable talent in recreating historical events he would read about through his pencil drawings.
It was his love for drawing and history has led Mark Maritato to pursue a career in art. He formally studied art and painting at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. It was at Pratt he developed his talent through long studio painting sessions and hours of anatomy study. Mark studied under the tutelage of working professors and Illustrators like Joseph A Smith, Sal Montano, Don Albright, Peter Fiore, and Tom Lapadula.
It was when he was a student that Mark first began to paint military subjects. His first major battle scene was "Heart of Texas" which depicts the Confederate 1st Texas regiment in their desperate fight in the Miller's Cornfield during the battle of Antietam. Since then Mark has created many scenes of the civil war and continues to work dilligently on his craft. "My belief is that you must do your research to get the details right. To attempt an historical piece of artwork with out doing your homework is not doing the people you are trying to portray the justice they deserve. The men and women of the Civil War or any war era for that matter gave of themselves in the way that cannot and must not be forgotten. It is only fair to them that I, as an artist, do my best to get their story as correct as possible."
