An iconic symbol of American patriotism, freedom, and pride, few photos have the power to evoke such profound emotions as the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph commemorating the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima, Feburary 23, 1945. Four days after the Marines landed at Iwo Jima, Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal made his way to battle-scarred Mount Suribachi, intent on getting a worthy shot of the American flag raising. He succeeded in capturing a deeply moving moment in American history, as well as a symbol of unity, perseverance and victory. The photo has since been recreated as a sculpture for the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. Although the photograph brought Rosenthal fame, fortune was not forthcoming. Controversy abounded with some purporting that Rosenthal staged the photograph, a claim that has since been disproved. A humble man, Rosenthal spent the rest of his career as a San Francisco Chronicle photographer capturing images of politicians, drug dealers, Art.com is the world's largest retailer of art prints, posters, photographs, and framed artwork.
