Entry of the French into Moscow, 14 September 1812, (c1850)
Entry of the French into Moscow, 14 September 1812, (c1850). After the bloody but indecisive Battle of Moscow the Russians retreated, leaving the French to take occupation of a burning city - set on fire by the Russians themselves. Hoping for a Russian surrender that never came, Bonaparte waited in Moscow for five weeks before leaving on 5 December to return to Paris where a coup had been foiled and to raise another army. His troops endured a bitter retreat, harrassed by the Russians and tormented by starvation and the Russian winter. Print from a series depicting the campaigns of Napoleon I, published c1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Entry of the French into Moscow, 14 September 1812" captures a pivotal moment in history during the Napoleonic Wars. The image depicts the aftermath of a bloody battle where the Russians retreated, leaving behind a burning city set ablaze by their own hands. Napoleon Bonaparte had hoped for a Russian surrender but was met with disappointment as he waited in Moscow for five long weeks. In this hauntingly beautiful chromolithograph from the 19th century, we see Bonaparte's troops marching through the devastated landscape on horseback. The men appear weary and tormented by starvation and harsh winter conditions. It is evident that they are enduring an arduous retreat, constantly harassed by relentless Russian forces. The composition of the print highlights both man-made destruction and natural elements. The burning city serves as a stark contrast to the serene river flowing nearby and lush plants dotting the landscape. This juxtaposition symbolizes not only war's devastation but also nature's resilience amidst chaos. This historical document offers us insight into one of Napoleon's most challenging campaigns and showcases his determination as he faced setbacks on multiple fronts - both on foreign soil and within his own country. It reminds us of how wars can shape nations, test leaders' resolve, and leave lasting scars on landscapes forever changed by conflict.
