EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print titled "NAPOLEON: RETREAT, 1812" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the crossing of the Beresina River during Napoleon Bonaparte's retreat from Russia in December 1812. The artist, Fournier-Sarloveze, skillfully captures the chaos and desperation of this pivotal event. In the foreground, we see abandoned baggage carts and ambulances, left behind as casualties of war. The frozen river acts as both a barrier and an opportunity for escape. French soldiers can be seen braving the icy waters, swimming or wading through with determination etched on their faces. This image symbolizes not only physical hardship but also the crumbling hopes of Napoleon's once mighty Grand Army. The fine details and delicate brushstrokes bring forth a sense of realism that transports us to that freezing winter day. It is impossible not to feel empathy for these soldiers who faced such dire circumstances. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by those involved in warfare throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like Napoleon Bonaparte were not immune to defeat and setbacks. This watercolor print is part of the Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith at Granger Art on Demand. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it a valuable addition to any collection or display dedicated to Napoleonic War enthusiasts or art lovers alike.
