EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Campaign of Russia: View of my Battle of Smolensk, night of 17/08/1812" transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Napoleonic Wars. The watercolour, created by an unknown artist in 19th century Paris, is now housed in the prestigious Musee de l'Armee in Paris, France. The image depicts a haunting scene from the battle of Smolensk during Napoleon's ill-fated Russian campaign. As darkness descends upon the city on that fateful night, we witness a chilling panorama of destruction and chaos. The once thriving urban landscape has been reduced to smoldering ruins as fires rage uncontrollably throughout the streets. This evocative artwork offers a glimpse into the horrors faced by both French and Russian soldiers during this brutal conflict. It serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences war can inflict upon cities and their inhabitants. As we study this piece further, we are reminded not only of historical events but also reflect on themes such as resilience and human suffering. Through its intricate details and masterful use of watercolours, it captures our attention and compels us to delve deeper into understanding one chapter in history that forever altered Europe's destiny. By preserving this significant moment through photography, Photo Josse allows us to appreciate art's ability to transcend time and connect with past narratives. This remarkable print invites viewers to contemplate the price paid for power struggles while igniting curiosity about other
