"The Peacemakers" is a notable 1868 oil painting by the American artist George Peter Alexander Healy. This historical work of art depicts an important moment during the American Civil War, capturing the meeting of Union leaders aboard the steamboat River Queen in March 1865. The painting features President Abraham Lincoln, General Ulysses S. Grant, General William Tecumseh Sherman, and Admiral David Dixon Porter engaged in a strategic conversation that would help shape the final stages of the war and the peace to follow.

Healy's composition is rich in symbolism and captures the gravity of the moment, with each figure thoughtfully rendered to reflect their character and role in the war effort. Lincoln, central in the composition, is depicted with a contemplative expression, embodying his role as a unifying figure striving for reconciliation. Grant and Sherman, key military leaders, appear in earnest discussion, while Porter, representing naval forces, completes the quartet of wartime leadership.

"The Peacemakers" holds significant historical value as it portrays the leadership that led to the Union's victory and the end of the Civil War. The painting was completed in Paris, where Healy was living at the time, and was based on his earlier sketches and the artist's own imagination, as no such meeting in this exact composition ever took place. Despite this, Healy's work has been celebrated for its evocative representation of a pivotal moment in American history.

The painting is part of the White House collection and has been displayed in the White House since its acquisition during the Truman administration. "The Peacemakers" has been referenced in various cultural and educational contexts, serving as a visual aid in discussions about leadership, collaboration, and the Civil War. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of George P. A. Healy, who is recognized for his portraits of prominent figures of his time, and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
