1795 Attack Bernadotte Cavalry Crossing Enemy Immediately Leads Revolutionary Rhine Wars


EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1795: Immediately After Crossing the Rhine, Bernadotte Leads the Cavalry to Attack the Enemy This historic print depicts a pivotal moment in the military career of Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, who would later become King of Sweden. The image captures Bernadotte leading his cavalry charge against the enemy just moments after crossing the Rhine during the French Revolutionary Wars. The year was 1795, and the French Revolutionary Army, under the command of General Bernadotte, had set out to invade the Dutch Republic. After successfully crossing the Rhine on September 1, Bernadotte's troops faced a formidable enemy position at the Battle of Altenkirchen. With the infantry pinned down by heavy artillery fire, Bernadotte saw an opportunity to turn the tide of the battle. He ordered his cavalry to charge, and the resulting attack proved to be a decisive moment in the conflict. The print, produced by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the intensity and drama of the moment. Bernadotte, dressed in his military uniform, is depicted leading his cavalry charge, with the enemy lines visible in the background. The horses and riders are shown in mid-gallop, their muscles taut and their eyes focused on the task at hand. The print provides a vivid and compelling visual representation of the bravery and strategic acumen that made Bernadotte a legendary military commander. The Battle of Altenkirchen was a significant victory for the French Revolutionary Army, and it cemented Bernadotte's reputation as a skilled and daring military leader. The event would go down in history as a turning point in the French Revolutionary Wars, and Bernadotte's role in the conflict would ultimately lead him to the throne of Sweden in 1818.
