Dan Nance has been fascinated with history all his life. Coming from a rich and storied heritage, he developed a passion for history from an early age. Visiting American Civil War battlefields instilled not only a deep respect, but an even deeper desire to tell those stories, both famous and anonymous. By honing his natural artistic talent and synthesizing that with his love for dramatic cinema, Nance was able to interpret what he saw and read to create profound images of American history.

Winning a full scholarship to prestigious New York art school, Pratt Institute, Nance majored in film while publishing his first fine art print at the tender age of nineteen. There, he began to create his hallmark perspective… painted images that seem lifted from a perfect frame of film from a movie that took place more than a century ago.

In the seventeen years since, he has released over a dozen prints and graced numerous book and magazine covers, growing a wide audience of authoritative scholars and historical reenactors who respect his integrity, as well as faithful patrons and enthusiasts who love his action-packed and emotional style–what he called his “windows in time.”
