View of the Spot Where General Ross Fell, Near Baltimore is a 1820 watercolor by John Hill, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This scene shows a lone rider on horseback walking through a wooded area. Tall trees line a dirt path, and the sky peeks through the leaves in the distance. The colors are mostly green and brown, with a few touches of blue in the sky. The title at the bottom says it’s the spot where a general fell near Baltimore. The artist used a mix of etching and watercolor to create the soft, dreamy look. Look up Romanticism to see how this painting fits into that art movement.
