EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Smolensk, fought on August 17, 1812, was a pivotal moment in the Napoleonic Wars between France and Russia. In this historic image, we witness the aftermath of the intense clash between the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Russian forces under the command of General Mikhail Kutuzov and Prince Michael Andreyevich Miloradovich, specifically the Russian General Tadeusz Bagration. The Battle of Smolensk was part of Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Russia, which ultimately led to the French army's retreat. The town of Smolensk, located in present-day Belarus, had been fiercely defended by the Russians, who inflicted heavy losses on the French. After several days of intense fighting, the Russians ultimately evacuated the town, setting it ablaze as they retreated. In this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we see the aftermath of the battle, with smoke rising from the burning buildings of Smolensk in the background. French soldiers can be seen in the foreground, likely taking stock of the damage and assessing their next move. The Russian forces, having successfully defended their territory, would go on to inflict further defeats on the French army, ultimately leading to Napoleon's eventual retreat from Russia. The Battle of Smolensk was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, demonstrating the resilience and determination of the Russian forces in the face of a formidable enemy. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history.
