EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and grandeur of the Battle of Somosierra on 30 November 1808. The color lithograph, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal moment in history that led to a resounding French victory under Napoleon Bonaparte's command. This triumph directly resulted in the capture of Madrid during the Peninsular War. The focal point of this image is an elaborate Polish cavalry charge led by Jan Kozietulski, whose bravery and skill are immortalized through this artwork. The charging Polish light horse cavalry can be seen thundering across a mountainous battlefield, their uniforms vibrant against the backdrop of nature's rugged beauty. This print not only serves as a historical record but also reflects popular French imagery from that era. It symbolizes power, valor, and military might while paying homage to those who fought bravely for their cause. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this remarkable piece transports viewers back to one of Europe's most significant battles. Its intricate details and vivid colors make it an exquisite addition to any art collection or historical display.
