Night Bivouac of the Corps of Discovery
Charles Fritz • c. 2002
Part of Fritz’s acclaimed series of 100 paintings illustrating the journals of Lewis and Clark, this work captures an evening camp scene along the Missouri River. Fritz spent a decade researching and painting the series, traveling to each location described in the journals and painting on-site. His complete collection represents the most comprehensive single artistic interpretation of the expedition, with each painting tied to a specific journal entry.
