EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1817 showcases the remarkable life and tragic fate of Michel Ney, a renowned French soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. Ney's resounding triumphs at Borodino and Smolensk earned him the prestigious title of Prince of the Moskwa, solidifying his status as a revered marshal of France. As depicted in this print, he fearlessly led the French center at Waterloo, an iconic battle that would ultimately seal Napoleon's defeat. However, despite his military prowess and esteemed position within Europe's history books, Ney's story took a dark turn. Accused of treason following the capitulation of Paris, he faced a grave betrayal that would cost him dearly. In this very image captured by an unknown artist in London, we witness Ney standing tall yet haunted by his impending fate. Published just two years after his execution for alleged disloyalty to Louis XVIII's restored monarchy, this engraving serves as both a historical record and testament to Ney's enduring legacy. It immortalizes not only his achievements but also the complex nature of war heroes caught in political turmoil. As we gaze upon this poignant portrayal of Michel Ney - soldier extraordinaire turned victim - let us remember that even those who shape nations can be subject to forces beyond their control. This print stands as a reminder that history is often written with bloodshed and sacrifice; it is our duty to honor these figures' contributions while acknowledging their human frailties.
