EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting depicts the historic Battle of Querétaro, also known as the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862, in Mexico. The first major victory of the Mexican army against the French forces, this battle is celebrated as a national holiday in Mexico. The scene unfolds outside Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, the Federal District, under the bright daylight of a sunny day. A group of men, dressed in military uniforms, are depicted in the foreground, engaged in the fierce fight against the French forces led by Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, also known as Maximilian I of Mexico (1832-1867), a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ignacio Zaragoza (1829-1862), a Mexican military hero, is shown leading the Mexican forces in this pivotal moment of the battle. The painting captures the masculine energy and determination of the soldiers on both sides, as they engage in hand-to-hand combat. This painting is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Mexican army during a time of foreign invasion and occupation. The vibrant colors and rich details of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the day of this significant victory in Mexican history.
