My first clue was that it has 4 petals. That is typical of the mustard 
family. Looking closely I think I see some long fruits, so that is also 
typical of the mustard family. So, I hunted a bit and came across this:

Looks like it. Might not be this particular species that grows in 
Wisconson, but very closely related.

Knew right away it was not a Lupine. Lupines are members of the pea family 
(leguminosae) , and have very typical pea-like flowers and easily 
recognizable palmate leaves. This guy is a cruciferae.

Name not withstanding, it is a great photo with great lighting.
