EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heroic moment of Captain Norman Ramsay, a member of the Royal Horse Artillery, galloping his troop through the chaos and danger of the French Army during the Battle of Fuentes d Onoro in 1811. The artist, George Bryant Campion, skillfully depicts this intense scene with watercolors on paper. In this historic event during the Peninsular War, Captain Ramsay fearlessly leads his men to safety amidst a fierce battlefield. Despite being wounded himself, he shows remarkable courage as he guides his troops through enemy lines on horseback. The painting vividly portrays the intensity and urgency of their escape. The image also highlights the crucial role that horses played in warfare during this time period. These magnificent animals were not only instrumental in carrying soldiers into battle but also served as loyal companions and partners throughout these perilous campaigns. Beyond its military significance, this artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in times of adversity. It reminds us of those who have sacrificed their own well-being for others' safety and showcases the unwavering spirit found within our armed forces. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this powerful painting by Campion immortalizes an extraordinary act of bravery that will forever be remembered in history books.
