EDITORS COMMENTS
This print commemorates the pivotal Battle of Fleurus, fought on June 26, 1794, during the French Revolutionary Wars. The French army, led by General Charles François Dumouriez Jourdain (on horseback), numbering approximately 70,000 soldiers, decisively defeated the Austrian forces under the command of Prince Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also known as Prince Albert Coburg (not depicted), totaling around 50,000 men. The Battle of Fleurus marked a significant turning point in the French Revolutionary Wars, as it halted the Austrian advance towards Paris and secured the French borders. The French victory was attributed to their innovative military tactics, including the use of a balloon for reconnaissance, which provided valuable intelligence to General Jourdain, enabling him to outmaneuver the Austrian forces. This historical print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back to the revolutionary era, allowing us to witness the grandeur and intensity of the Battle of Fleurus. The image of General Jourdain leading his troops into battle on horseback adds a sense of heroism and determination, while the contrasting uniforms and banners of the French and Austrian armies highlight the magnitude of the conflict. This print is an essential addition to any collection of historical military art, providing a unique perspective on one of the most significant battles in European history. The Battle of Fleurus serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by the soldiers of both sides during the French Revolutionary Wars, and the enduring impact of their actions on the course of history.
