EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - the siege of Zaragoza during the Napoleonic Wars. The image showcases the intense struggle that took place between June 15 and August 14,1808. Led by Lefebvre and Verdier, French forces attempted to conquer Zaragoza but faced fierce resistance from its defenders. Although they managed to capture the monastery of San Engracia, their efforts to occupy the entire city were ultimately unsuccessful. As a result, they were forced to abandon their mission on August 14. The artist behind this print remains unknown, yet their skillful use of chromolithography brings depth and vibrancy to this historical scene. Every detail is meticulously captured, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this dramatic event. This artwork serves as a reminder of Spain's resilience during times of conflict and highlights the bravery exhibited by those who defended Zaragoza against overwhelming odds. It also offers an opportunity for reflection on the impact of war on cities and communities. Preserved within a private collection, this print provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in European history. Its existence ensures that we continue to remember and learn from past struggles while appreciating artistry that transcends time.
