"Death of Colonel Edward D Baker 1811-61 at the Battle of Balls Bluff Virginia" is a historical art piece created by Felix Octavius Carr Darley. F.O.C. Darley, a well-known 19th century American artist, is noted for his illustrations encapsulating significant moments in American history.

This particular artwork holds an approximate creation date in the latter half of the 19th century and meticulously portrays the demise of Colonel Edward D. Baker in the Battle Ball’s Bluff, Virginia in 1861, during the American Civil War. The graphic nature of the scene and the evident turmoil conveyed through the artist's technique reflect the grim reality of wartime conflicts.

Colonel Baker, a distinguished politician and soldier, was the only sitting U.S. Senator to be killed in the Civil War. His death led to significant changes in military protocol, including the establishment of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of War. The battle, a significant defeat for the Union, became a profound symbol of the war's cost.

The scene is a study in the extreme contrast of the serenity of the landscape with the violence unfolding within it, highlighting Darley's ability to convey the dichotomy between the idyllic American landscape and the devastating reality of the Civil War.

Drawing on a variety of sources for his composition, including accounts of the battle and contemporary photographs, Darley's work presents a comprehensive snapshot of the early battles of the Civil War, immortalizing the tragic death of Colonel Edward D. Baker.
