EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow in 1812. The engraving, created by the German School in the 19th century, depicts Napoleons Grande Armee retreating from the burning city of Moscow, Russia. The image showcases the chaos and devastation caused by this disastrous event. The flames engulfing Moscow create a striking contrast against the dark sky, symbolizing both destruction and defeat. As we observe closely, we can see bonefires and braziers scattered throughout the scene, further emphasizing the intensity of these fires. In this historical moment frozen in time, we witness an army in disarray as it attempts to escape its impending doom. Soldiers are seen marching hastily with their weapons at hand while others appear exhausted and defeated. Among them are female soldiers who fought alongside their male counterparts during this tumultuous period. Napoleon himself is absent from this particular depiction; however, his presence looms large over this image as he was responsible for leading his troops into this ill-fated campaign. This engraving serves as a reminder of one of history's most significant military failures and highlights the destructive power that war holds over nations. As viewers reflect upon this powerful artwork, they are transported back to a time when Europe was embroiled in conflict and empires clashed on battlefields. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and vulnerability amidst times of war.
