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.
