EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, specifically to the Battle of Champigny on November 30th. The image is a detailed section of a painting by Alphonse de Neuville, completed in 1885. It showcases the chaos and intensity of this late battle between French and Prussian troops. In this scene, we witness the sheer brutality and devastation that war inflicts upon both man and beast. A troop of French soldiers fights valiantly against their Prussian counterparts along a dusty road. Horses gallop wildly amidst the chaos, pulling carts filled with wounded men desperately seeking medical aid. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke captures the anguish and determination etched onto each soldier's face as they engage in hand-to-hand combat. The ground beneath them is stained crimson with blood, symbolizing lives lost in this brutal conflict. Amidst all the violence, there are moments of heart-wrenching tragedy. In one corner of the painting, a dying soldier lies cradled by his fallen horse—a poignant reminder of sacrifice made for country and cause. This powerful print serves as an important historical document from The Granger Collection—an invaluable resource for those seeking insight into one of history's most significant conflicts—the Franco-Prussian War.
