About the Artwork

"One Last Night Out" captures President Abraham Lincoln leaving the White House on the evening of April 14 1865 on his way to Ford’s Theatre. Painter Glenn Beck pays tribute to the unity and charity expressed in Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address 41 days earlier.

Story & Inspiration

The painting draws its title from Lincoln’s final night out before his assassination. During his Second Inaugural Address, Lincoln called for healing and reconciliation after the Civil War. He reminded the nation to move forward “with malice toward none; with charity for all”. Beck’s painting honors that plea and reflects the president’s legacy of togetherness, justice and freedom.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
