Marshal Ney, a prominent figure in French history, played a significant role during various crucial events. From his involvement in the retreat from Russia to his execution and everything in between, Ney's actions left an indelible mark on France. In 1812, Marshal Ney found himself at the forefront of one of the most disastrous military campaigns in history - the retreat from Russia. As depicted in an engraving from 1894, he valiantly led the Grand Army's rear-guard, ensuring their safe passage amidst harsh conditions and relentless attacks. However, not all chapters of Ney's life were filled with glory. Following Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat and subsequent exile to Elba, Louis XVIII restored the French monarchy. During this period (1815-1824), a color lithograph shows Ney witnessing this restoration firsthand. His loyalty was tested as he grappled with conflicting loyalties towards both Napoleon and his country. Tragically, it was during these tumultuous times that Marshal Ney faced his darkest hour - captured by royalist forces after Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. The oil painting depicting his execution serves as a haunting reminder of the price paid for unwavering allegiance. Despite these somber moments etched into history forevermore, there are also glimpses into Ney's character beyond warfare and politics. An engraving showcases him pinching his nose while declaring "I swear it smells of violet. " This peculiar incident adds depth to our understanding of this complex man who possessed both bravery on the battlefield and idiosyncrasies off it. Another engraving portrays Marshal Michel Ney during 1814 when he posed for a portrait capturing his stoic demeanor amidst turbulent times. These engravings serve as visual testaments to preserve memories of those who shaped France's destiny. Lastly, we see another color lithograph illustrating Marshal Ney on the Retreat from Russia – perhaps reflecting upon past victories or contemplating future strategies.
