EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic Battle of Somosierra in 1808, brought to life through the skillful brushstrokes of Henryk Pillati. The oil on canvas painting measures 41x51 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The artwork depicts Jan Kozietulski, a Polish cavalry leader, fearlessly leading his troops into battle against the French forces under Napoleon's command. This pivotal moment ultimately led to the fall of Madrid during the Peninsular War. The composition showcases the Polish light horse cavalry charging forward with determination and bravery. Against a mountainous backdrop, their uniforms stand out prominently as they gallop towards victory. The elaborate details meticulously captured by Pillati bring an air of authenticity to this historical scene. With its dynamic portrayal of action and movement, this painting beautifully encapsulates both the spirit of warfare and equestrian prowess. It serves as a testament to not only Kozietulski's leadership but also highlights the courage exhibited by all those who fought alongside him. Displayed proudly at Agra Art in Warsaw, Poland, this remarkable piece remains an enduring symbol of valor and sacrifice. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the indomitable human spirit that drives individuals to fight for what they believe in – even amidst challenging circumstances like those faced at Somosierra over two centuries ago.
