About the Item

Battle of Montmirail, February 11, 1814 - Iconic Napoleonic War Engraving by Lechard This impressive 19th-century engraving captures the dramatic Battle of Montmirail, fought on February 11, 1814, during Napoleon's Campaign of France. The engraving, based on a painting by Horace Vernet and drawn by L'Oeillo, was engraved by Lechard and vividly depicts the fierce engagement between French forces and the advancing coalition troops. The battle was one of Napoleon's last successful actions, fought to delay the allied advance into France. The scene illustrates the intensity of battle, with French infantry charging forward, artillery in action, and officers on horseback commanding their troops. The detail in the soldiers' uniforms, their dynamic movement, and the landscape evoke the heat of the engagement, transporting the viewer back to this critical moment in Napoleonic history. Details: Artist: Horace Vernet (after) Drawer: L'Oeillo Engraver: Lechard Title: Bataille de Montmirail, 11 février 1814 Date: 19th century Technique: Engraving Condition: This engraving is in good condition, with clear lines and well-preserved contrast. The paper shows slight toning and some marks at the edges, but these do not affect the printed image. The overall quality of the engraving is excellent, maintaining the dramatic essence of the battle. Why this print is attractive: This engraving is a powerful depiction of one of Napoleon's final victories, capturing the urgency and intensity of the 1814 Campaign of France. The composition, with its detail in uniforms, weapons, and battlefield action, is both historically informative and artistically compelling. It is an ideal addition for collectors of Napoleonic art or those interested in military history, as it encapsulates the skill of Napoleon's last military efforts to protect his empire. The artistry of Horace Vernet, combined with Lechard's fine engraving, makes this print a notable piece of 19th-century historical art.
