EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic "Battle of Moscow" that took place on September 7th, 1812. Painted by Louis Lejeune in 1822, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 210x264 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment during the battle, specifically capturing the intense second attack from the grand redoubt. The scene is filled with chaos and desperation as French and Russian troops engage in fierce combat. Thick smoke engulfs the battlefield, obscuring visibility and adding to the sense of urgency. Amidst this turmoil, cavalry charges forward while cannons roar in a symphony of destruction. Lejeune's attention to detail is remarkable; each brushstroke brings life to soldiers fighting for their respective nations. The painting also portrays moments of immense sacrifice and tragedy as dying soldiers lay strewn across the battleground. Notably featured within this historical tableau is Marshal Bessières, a prominent French general who played a significant role in Napoleon's campaigns. His presence adds both poignancy and significance to this iconic depiction of warfare. This print serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most consequential battles—a clash between two great powers that shaped Europe's destiny. It captures not only the brutality but also highlights individual acts of bravery amidst overwhelming odds.
