I am at your orders, I am the artist of Patriot in fatigue uniform. I have no problem to share with you some other illustration. I would only appreciate to name the author, that's all!! You have a very beautiful collections, the "llanero" riders are truly fantastic. The only remark about it, they have different attires in different campaigns. In 1815, they were badly dressed; practically undressed. In Vargas or Boyacá, they wore peasants clothing and uniforms stolen form the Royalists. In Carabobo, as I already mentioned, the army was fully uniformed and Bolivar asked them to go to battle in parade uniform. A your orders, R.G.Rojas
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Rojas, thank you for your message. I really didn't know who created the image, and of course I claim absolutely no copyright to it. I will certainly add you as the source above. I would be really interested as well to see any other images you have. I have a lot of cooperation with friends in Venezuela and other countries who provide me with information so that I can get metal figures sculpted accurately, and mostly they say the same as you about how the patriots were dressed. Please send me a direct message if you can. Best regards.
DeleteBravo, you one talented dude!!! Hope to see more of your military art in the future.
DeleteSuperbe!
