Napoleon at the Battle of Lutzen, 2 May, 1813
Napoleon at the Battle of Lutzen, 2 May, 1813. With a Prusso-Russian army of some 100, 000 men moving on a small French force at Leipzig, Napoleon Bonaparte decided to intercept the enemy. At the head of 120, 000 men, the French emperor detached Marshal Neys III Corps at Lutzen to use part of it as bait to attract the attention of the enemy commanders Count Wittgenstein and General Blucher. By the time Bonaparte arrived on the field the French were more than 110, 000 strong and pressuring the Allies from the flanks. In the early evening, the emperor ordered his Guard forward and, together with flank assaults, drove the Russians and Prussians into retreat. French casualties were up to 20, 000 while the Prusso-Russian losses of up to 20, 000 would have been considerably worse if the depleted French army had not been hamstrung by a shortage of cavalry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous Battle of Lutzen on 2 May 1813, where Napoleon Bonaparte strategically outmaneuvered a Prusso-Russian army. The image showcases the French emperor at the forefront, leading his formidable force of 120,000 men against an enemy twice their size. In a brilliant tactical move, Napoleon detached Marshal Ney's III Corps to act as bait and divert the attention of Count Wittgenstein and General Blucher. By the time Bonaparte arrived on the battlefield, his troops had swelled to over 110,000 strong. With relentless pressure from both flanks and supported by flank assaults, Napoleon ordered his elite Guard forward in the early evening. The result was a resounding victory for France as they forced their opponents into retreat. However, this triumph came at great cost; French casualties reached up to 20,000 while Prusso-Russian losses could have been far worse if not for the depleted French cavalry due to shortages. This wood engraving beautifully depicts this historic event with intricate detail and vibrant colors. It transports viewers back to that fateful day in Saxony-Anhalt when two mighty armies clashed amidst smoke-filled battlefields and thundering hooves. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art media created by an unknown artist, we are reminded of Napoleon Bonaparte's military genius and indomitable spirit that shaped Europe during one of history's most turbulent periods.
