EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant scene of the last moments of Marshal Lannes, Duke of Montebello, at the Battle of Essling on May 22nd, 1809. Engraved by Abraham Girardet and created by artist Denis-Auguste-Marie Raffet, this historical artwork is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France. In this somber image, we see a group gathered inside a tent where Marshal Lannes lies on a bed. Dressed in his military uniform, he exudes both strength and vulnerability. The atmosphere is heavy with sorrow and grief as those around him mourn his impending death. Lannes was a revered military leader known for his heroism and bravery. His friendship with Emperor Napoleon I Bonaparte is evident as he receives care from his fellow officers during these final moments. This portrayal highlights not only Lannes' sacrifice but also the brotherhood that existed among soldiers on the battlefield. The Battle of Essling itself was an Austrian victory over French forces during the Napoleonic Wars. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and honors those who fought bravely despite their ultimate sacrifice. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when courage clashed with tragedy on European soil. It stands as an enduring testament to Lannes' legacy as well as to all those who have fallen while serving their countries throughout time.
