The Revenge (The Escape)

1882
George de Forest Brush (American, 1855–1941)
Paintings of American Indian life were immensely popular during the late 1800s, as viewers grew curious about the exotic qualities of Native American culture and began to lament its loss. Brush constructs both a romantic and savage image of the American Indian.
