EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the First Battle of Zurich in 1810. Painted by an anonymous artist, it showcases French and Russian troops on the picturesque Zurichberg hill. The watercolour technique used adds depth and vibrancy to this neoclassical masterpiece. The scene depicts soldiers from two opposing forces engaged in fierce combat during the French Revolutionary Wars. The etching skillfully portrays the chaos and intensity of battle, with smoke billowing from cannons and muskets firing relentlessly. Each soldier is meticulously detailed, showcasing their uniforms, weapons, and determination. The historical significance of this artwork cannot be overstated; it represents one chapter in the larger War of the Second Coalition that engulfed Europe at that time. This conflict had far-reaching consequences for Switzerland as well as neighboring countries. Preserved within Zentralbibliothek Zurich's collection, this fine art image offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period when nations clashed for power and dominance. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely on both sides. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to that fateful day on Zurichberg hill - witnessing firsthand the courage and tenacity displayed by these soldiers amidst chaos and uncertainty. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring spirit even in times of war.
