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.
