The Retreat from Moscow AD 1812
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Meissonier, dating back to the 19th century. This powerful image, now part of a private collection, depicts one of the most infamous military campaigns in history - Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. In this scene, we witness the harsh realities faced by the French army as they navigate through treacherous winter conditions. The soldiers are adorned in their distinctive costumes and armed with weapons that reflect their determination and resilience. Horses trudge through deep snow while soldiers struggle to maintain their footing amidst the freezing temperatures. The print captures both the physical and emotional toll of war. Exhaustion can be seen etched on every face as they battle against nature itself. It serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences that warfare can inflict upon those involved. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in English history, featured in Cassells History of England published around 1920. Through Meissonier's skilled engraving technique, we are transported back to this critical moment where victory turned into defeat for Napoleon's forces. As we contemplate this mesmerizing piece, it compels us to reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history and serves as a testament to human endurance even under dire circumstances.
