EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Crossing of Mount St. Bernard in May 1800, during the 19th century. Led by the indomitable Napoleon Bonaparte, his army braved treacherous conditions as they traversed the snow and ice-covered Alps. The image showcases the sheer determination and resilience of both man and beast against nature's fierce elements. At a staggering altitude of 7540 feet above sea level, this mountain pass presented an arduous challenge for Napoleon's troops. The soldiers, clad in vibrant uniforms, trudged through deep snow with their trusty horses by their side. Despite facing freezing temperatures and harsh winds, they pressed on relentlessly towards victory. The print vividly portrays the awe-inspiring beauty of the mountain range known as the Alps. Its towering peaks serve as a majestic backdrop to this historical moment that shaped Europe's destiny. The cannon strategically placed amidst snowy slopes symbolizes both military might and strategic prowess. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal era in French history -the French Revolutionary Wars- where Napoleon emerged as a formidable leader who would later become Emperor Napoleon I. This visual masterpiece not only celebrates his triumph over geographical obstacles but also pays homage to his unwavering spirit and tactical brilliance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print created by Anon (creator) underpinned by Heritage Images' expertise, we are reminded of how human determination can conquer even nature's harshest challenges. "
