EDITORS COMMENTS
Per Krafft the Younger's masterpiece, "The Storming of Leipzig, 1818," captures the intensity and chaos of one of the most significant battles during the Napoleonic Wars. The painting depicts the moment when the French army, led by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, launched a fierce attack on the Saxon and Russian forces at the Battle of Leipzig, also known as the Battle of the Nations. The scene is set against a dramatic and ominous sky, with the sun setting in the background, casting long shadows over the battlefield. The French army, a vast array of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, is seen charging forward, their determination etched on their faces. Napoleon, dressed in his iconic blue uniform, is depicted on horseback, leading his troops into battle. The painting is rich in detail, with horses rearing and men shouting as they engage in hand-to-hand combat. Cannons are fired, sending plumes of smoke into the air, while the ground is littered with debris and fallen soldiers. The animals, both horses and those pulling artillery, are portrayed with equal intensity, adding to the sense of chaos and movement. The Storming of Leipzig is a testament to the power and might of the Napoleonic army, as well as the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal battle. The painting is now on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a must-see for anyone interested in military history or the art of the 19th century.
