EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the early hours of April 14, 1814, as the British and Portuguese forces, led by the Duke of Wellington, prepare for their sortie from Bayonne during the Napoleonic Wars. The scene is set against the backdrop of a dark, moonlit night, with the silhouettes of soldiers and horses forming a stark contrast against the glowing embers of campfires. The Duke of Wellington, shown on horseback at the center of the image, gives the order for the troops to advance, signaled by the raising of a lantern. The soldiers, dressed in their red coats and bearskins, are seen forming up in ranks, their weapons at the ready. The air is thick with anticipation and tension, as the Allied forces prepare to launch a surprise attack on the French garrison in Bayonne. The sortie from Bayonne was a crucial moment in the Napoleonic Wars, marking the beginning of the end for Napoleon Bonaparte's reign. The successful attack allowed the Allied forces to reclaim the strategic port city and cut off the French army's supply lines, ultimately leading to Napoleon's abdication and the end of the war. This print captures the raw energy and determination of the soldiers as they set out on their mission, providing a glimpse into the intense and pivotal moments of the Napoleonic Wars. The historical significance of this event is further emphasized by the meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the uniforms and weapons to the campfires and lanterns, all of which contribute to the authentic and immersive depiction of this important moment in military history.
