EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "KOERNER: MADONNA, 1922. Madonna Of The Prairie" showcases an exquisite oil on canvas painting by W. H. D. Koerner. Created in 1922 for the cover of Emerson Hough's novel about the Oregon Trail, "The Covered Wagon" this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the American frontier. In this piece, we are introduced to Molly Wingate, the courageous heroine of Hough's book. Set against a backdrop of vast prairies and endless skies, Molly is portrayed as a symbol of strength and resilience during westward expansion in the late 19th century. Koerner's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to Molly's portrait. Her seated position exudes grace and determination while her halo-like aura adds an ethereal touch to her character. As a settler venturing into uncharted territories, she represents countless women who played pivotal roles in shaping America's history. "The Madonna of the Prairie" not only pays homage to these unsung heroines but also encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined those times. It serves as a visual reminder of our nation's rich heritage and reminds us that progress often comes with great sacrifice. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate William Koerner's masterful work while reflecting on America's wild west era and its indomitable pioneers like Molly Wingate
