About the Item

The Capture of Tarragona, June 28, 1811 - Dramatic Napoleonic War Engraving This striking 19th-century engraving, titled "La prise de Tarragon, le 28 juin 1811," depicts the French forces capturing the city of Tarragona in Catalonia, Spain, during the Peninsular War. The artwork, drawn by Auguste Sandoz after Jean Charles Joseph Remond and engraved by Jean-Jacques Outhwaite, vividly portrays the dramatic moment of the city's siege and the sweeping landscape surrounding it. The scene captures the intense military action as French troops advance toward the embattled city, with the smoke of battle rising from Tarragona in the background. The viewpoint provides a broad perspective of the strategic terrain, with soldiers in the foreground and a panoramic view of the city, coastline, and distant hills. The artistry and detail in depicting both the vast landscape and the bustling military action bring this historical moment to life.

The paper shows slight age-related toning, with some minor spots in the margins, but this does not affect the image area. The overall clarity and quality of the engraving are well maintained. Why this print is attractive: This engraving is an impressive depiction of one of the significant battles during the Peninsular War, offering a detailed and dramatic portrayal of the French forces' capture of Tarragona. The broad view of the city, the strategically placed troops, and the sense of movement make it a compelling visual record of the Napoleonic campaigns. The historical importance of the event and the skilled craftsmanship of the engraving make it an ideal addition for collectors interested in Napoleonic history, military art, or historical landscapes. The inclusion in the "Galerie historique du palais de Versailles" further adds to its cultural and historical value.
