This is a framed and matted calendar printing. The Last Meeting Chancellorsville May 2, 1863 For years I had wanted to do a painting of the last meeting between General Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson. The Last Council, my painting of the last meeting between Lee, Jackson, and "JEB" Stuart, had been extremely well-received, so I felt a painting of the last meeting between Lee and Jackson, which occurred the morning after the The Last Council, would be a wonderful sequel. Finally, I had the opportunity to paint The Last Meeting this year as a part of our Lee and Jackson: Legends in Gray series. Almost immediately, I was surprised to discover that research proved the last meeting between Lee and Jackson was vastly different from the traditional image of the event conveyed by the 1869 Everett B.D.F. Julio painting entitled The Last Meeting. Even though the artist obviously meant that painting to be romantic, it was so familiar that many of us had some form of the image in mind when we thought about the last meeting between Lee and Jackson. Historic research proved otherwise, Dr. James Robertson Jr., the acclaimed Civil War scholar and the foremost authority on "Stonewall" Jackson, confirmed the results of my research: the real last meeting was nothing like the popular Julio painting. The two were not on horseback when they met for the last time. Jackson was mounted, but Lee was on foot. The meeting occurred early in the morning as Jackson was moving his troops through Virginia's Wilderness region on his famous flank march at Chancellorsville, Lee and his staff were standing near the road when Jackson passed. "Stonewall" rode over to confer briefly with his commanding officer, so Lee was on foot and Jackson remained mounted. Mort Kunstler
