The captivating print titled "Stretcher-bearers on the battlefield during the Siege of Paris" depicts a poignant scene from history. Painted by Jean-Baptiste Edouard Detaille, this oil on canvas artwork measures 53x65 cm and is housed in the Château de Versailles, France. The image transports us back to the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) when Paris was under siege and ultimately captured by Prussian forces. This significant event led to French defeat and the establishment of the German Empire. In this powerful composition, we witness stretcher-bearers valiantly navigating through a chaotic battlefield strewn with fallen soldiers. The red cross flags fluttering above them symbolize their noble mission: providing first aid and rescuing wounded comrades amidst relentless fighting.

This historical masterpiece serves as a reminder not only of war's devastating toll but also highlights humanity's resilience in times of crisis. It pays tribute to those who risked their lives selflessly for others, embodying courage and compassion amid chaos. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time, allowing us to
