"Portrait of John Fulton Reynolds" is an oil painting by Norwegian-American artist Ole Peter Hansen Balling, created in 1864. The artwork is a posthumous commemoration of Major General John Fulton Reynolds, a notable figure in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Reynolds played a significant role in the early stages of the Battle of Gettysburg and was esteemed for his leadership and tactical skills. Tragically, he was killed at the outset of the battle on July 1, 1863.

Balling, known for his portraits of military and political leaders, captured Reynolds in his military regalia, imbuing the painting with a sense of dignity and solemnity befitting a fallen hero. The portrait is executed with a realist approach, characteristic of mid-19th-century portraiture, and emphasizes the fine details of Reynolds's uniform and likeness. The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, reflecting the reverence held for Reynolds by his contemporaries and the nation's mourning for those lost in the Civil War.

The "Portrait of John Fulton Reynolds" is part of a series of Civil War officer portraits by Balling, which was commissioned by the U.S. government. These works were intended to preserve the memory of key military figures and to foster a sense of national pride and unity in the post-war period. The portrait is significant for its artistic merit and as a representation of American history, capturing the visage of a man who played a pivotal role in one of the most critical battles of the Civil War. It remains an important piece in the study of American art and history, offering insight into the era's cultural and historical context.
