EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas print, "Sketch for the Battle of Yorktown, 1st to 17th October 1781" transports us back in time to a pivotal moment in history. Painted by Louis Charles Auguste Couder in c. 1836, this masterpiece captures the intense military planning and camaraderie between American and French soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. In this scene, we witness Jean-Baptiste de Vimeur, Count of Rochambeau, alongside George Washington as they strategize and give orders for the final assault on Yorktown. The presence of Marie Joseph Marquis of La Fayette adds further significance to this historic event. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of Couder's brush brings life to the scene. From the gleaming swords and telescopes held by officers to the flickering campfire illuminating their faces, each element contributes to an atmosphere charged with anticipation. This artwork not only showcases significant figures but also symbolizes unity between two nations fighting against British rule. It serves as a reminder of courage and determination that ultimately led America towards independence. Originally displayed at Chateau Blerancourt in Picardie, France before finding its place at Galerie des Batailles at Versailles in 1837 (see 13015), this painting has become an enduring testament to bravery and collaboration during a critical chapter in world history.
