EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the chaotic aftermath of the Battle of Vitoria, fought on June 21, 1813, during the Peninsular War (1807-1814). The French army, led by Marshal Soult, was defeated by the combined forces of the British, Portuguese, and Spanish, resulting in a decisive victory for the Allies. In the image, a disorganized and disheartened French cavalry retreats in full gallop, with their pursuers hot on their heels. The scene is one of confusion and mess, as soldiers abandon their weapons and equipment in their haste to escape. The horses, sensing the imminent danger, join in the frenzy, adding to the chaos on the battlefield. The print, created in the 1810s, is a testament to the intensity and brutality of war, and serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict. British artist T. Parker skillfully captures the energy and movement of the scene, making for a powerful and captivating visual representation of a pivotal moment in European history.
