The Capture of Murat AD 1815 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by William Barnes Wollen in the early 20th century, transports us back to a significant moment in history - the capture of Murat AD 1815. The print showcases an intense scene filled with drama and tension. In this artwork, we witness the French general Joachim Murat being apprehended during his ill-fated attempt to regain power after Napoleon's defeat. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and desperation of this pivotal event. Soldiers clad in historically accurate costumes engage in fierce combat, their weapons clashing amidst billowing smoke. Wollen's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously depicts each figure, conveying their emotions through expressive facial expressions and body language. The intensity on Murat's face reflects his realization that his ambitions have been shattered. The composition draws our eyes towards the central figures while also providing glimpses into the larger battlefield surrounding them. This print not only serves as a visual record but also immerses us in an important chapter of English history. Originally featured in Cassell's History of England published around 1920, this lithograph has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of both the bravery and tragedy that unfolded during these tumultuous times. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this historical gem remains accessible for all to admire and learn from – a testament
