EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the renowned Prussian military commander, Gebhard Lebrecht von Blücher, triumphantly riding his horse on the battlefield of Waterloo. Born in 1742 in Ruhland, Brandenburg, Blücher rose through the ranks of the Prussian army to become one of the most formidable military leaders of his time. His strategic brilliance and unwavering determination played a crucial role in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte in the historic Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. Blücher's military career began in earnest during the Seven Years' War, where he distinguished himself in several battles. However, it was during the Napoleonic Wars that he truly made his mark. In 1813, Blücher led the Prussian forces in the Battle of Leipzig, which is considered one of the largest battles in European history. His victory there paved the way for the final confrontation with Napoleon. In the Battle of Waterloo, Blücher and his allies, including the British forces led by the Duke of Wellington, met Napoleon's forces in a fierce battle that lasted for most of the day. Blücher's timely arrival with his fresh troops turned the tide of the battle, ultimately leading to Napoleon's defeat and the end of his reign. This print captures Blücher in the moment of his greatest triumph, his steely gaze fixed on the horizon as he leads his troops to victory. The image serves as a testament to Blücher's indomitable spirit and his crucial role in the defeat of Napoleon. Dated between 1815 and 1819, this print is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in European history.
