ARTIFACT: This is a wonderful contemporary copy (circa 1946) of Dean Cornwell's painting "The Death of Captain Waskow". The painting shows war correspondent Ernie Pyle kneeling at the grave of Captain Waskow of the United States Army 36th Infantry Division on the Italian front on January 10, 1944. Cornwell's painting was used for a print in the January, 1946 issue of "True, The Man's Magazine". This copy of the painting was done by California artist William John Steinmetz. Steinmetz lived from 1883 until 1958, and this work was probably from the last few years of his life. The last photo (above, credit:www.indiana.edu) is of the presentation to Indiana University of the original Cromwell painting.
