He was seriously wounded at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862 but remained in the army as a cartographer and topographer. He returned to Rome in 1864-1865 and later travelled in Mexico where he painted battle scenes between Maximilian's troops and those of Juarez, as well as landscapes. He then returned to the USA but made frequent short visits to Mexico, France, Italy and England. He eventually moved to Hampton in Virginia, where he died. In Rome Chapman executed numerous paintings on the American Civil War, including 31 showing the forts and artillery units around the port of Charleston in South Carolina. He wrote his memoirs in 1867. From 1865 to 1872 he painted mainly Mexican landscapes, including Mexico City Valley. In 1871 his painting of the Kentucky regiment in which he served became famous after being reproduced as a chromolithograph; Chapman himself appeared in it as a sentry.

Twilight in the Hills
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Wiscasett, ME
A luminous Autumn oil on canvas board landscape, probably of the hills in the Hudson River Valley, by the noted American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Signed in the lower right. Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
