1806 Berlin Invading Napoleon Rides
EDITORS COMMENTS
Napoleon I Rides into Berlin: A Triumphant Moment in History (27 October 1806) This evocative print captures the iconic moment when Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military and political leader, rode into the heart of Berlin at the head of his invading army. The date was 27 October 1806, and the scene depicted here marks a pivotal point in European history. The French army, having defeated the Prussian forces in the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt, marched onward to the capital city of the Kingdom of Prussia. The citizens of Berlin, initially fearing the worst, were taken aback by the gracious reception extended to their conqueror. Napoleon, ever the showman, seized the opportunity to present himself as a liberator, rather than a conqueror. He rode into the city on a white horse, surrounded by his victorious troops, and was greeted with cheers and applause from the crowds lining the streets. This print, with its intricate details and dynamic composition, transports us back to that fateful day in Berlin's history. The grandeur of Napoleon's entrance, the awe-struck expressions of the onlookers, and the sense of history in the making all come alive in this image. The print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this moment in history, and the indelible mark that Napoleon left on Europe.
