Storming of Ciudad Rodrigo, 19th January, 1813 - A Glimpse into the Fierce Battle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This aquatint print by Thomas Sutherland vividly depicts the intense and pivotal moment during the Storming of Ciudad Rodrigo on January 19th, 1813. The artwork showcases the sheer chaos and violence that unfolded as English and Portuguese forces launched a daring attack against the French army. The image captures a scene filled with explosive energy, as soldiers fiercely engage in combat amidst crumbling walls and billowing smoke. With incredible attention to detail, Sutherland skillfully portrays the bravery and determination of both infantrymen and their leaders. Led by General Wellington, this hard-won victory came at a great cost. As indicated in historical records, over 600 English soldiers tragically lost their lives during this fierce battle. However, despite these heavy casualties, it marked a significant turning point in the Peninsular War against Napoleon's forces. This remarkable piece serves as an enduring testament to the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for freedom from tyranny. It stands not only as a reminder of human resilience but also pays homage to all those involved in securing this crucial victory. Displayed within private collections today, this aquatint print continues to captivate viewers with its powerful depiction of war's harsh realities while honoring those who bravely fought for justice on that fateful day in history.
