"Our Banner in the Sky" is a patriotic artwork created by the American landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church (1826–1900) in 1861, during the early stages of the American Civil War. This piece is a fine example of Church's allegorical work, where he used his mastery of landscape painting to convey a political statement. The painting is a small oil sketch, measuring approximately 7.5 x 11.25 inches, and is known for its symbolic representation of the United States flag.

The work was created in response to the attack on Fort Sumter, which marked the beginning of the Civil War. Church, who was known for his detailed and dramatic landscapes, particularly of the American wilderness and South American scenes, infused "Our Banner in the Sky" with a sense of national pride and resilience. The composition cleverly uses natural elements to mimic the Stars and Stripes: the red and white stripes are formed by the dramatic light of the sunrise or sunset, while the blue field and white stars are represented by a patch of clear blue sky and clouds.

As a piece of art, "Our Banner in the Sky" is significant for its emotional impact and its role in bolstering morale among the Union supporters. It was widely disseminated as a chromolithograph, which contributed to its popularity and the spread of its patriotic message. The original painting is part of the collection at the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Frederic Edwin Church's creation of "Our Banner in the Sky" is a testament to the power of art to reflect and influence public sentiment during times of national crisis. The work remains an important example of American art from the Civil War period and continues to be studied for its historical context and artistic merit.
