EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history as the Artillery of the French Imperial Guard crosses the River Serio in Italy during the Second Italian War of Independence on 19 June 1859. The scene is filled with action and tension as soldiers on horseback lead their artillery across the river, ready for battle. The detail in this print is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill of the English School artist who created it. Each soldier and horse is depicted with precision, capturing their determination and focus as they navigate through the rushing waters of the river. The significance of this event cannot be understated, as it was a crucial moment in Italy's quest for unification during the Risorgimento movement. The French forces played a key role in supporting Italian independence, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of that alliance. As you gaze upon this engraving, you can almost hear the sounds of hooves splashing through water and orders being shouted out by commanding officers. It is a snapshot frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into a momentous chapter in European history.
