EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and historical significance of the Battle of Fleurus. Taking place on June 26,1794, this battle marked a significant French victory over their Austrian, Dutch, and allied adversaries. The image showcases an extraordinary element that played a crucial role in this triumph - the hot air balloon La Entreprenant. Intriguingly, the French employed this innovative aerial observation device to gain a strategic advantage during the battle. The balloon's presence in the sky provided invaluable insights into enemy movements and positions. This unique perspective allowed for better coordination and decision-making by French commanders. The artwork itself is a masterful reproduction by Pierre Adrien Le Beau after Thomas Charles Naudet's original engraving from the 18th century. Every detail is meticulously captured, from the intense expressions on soldiers' faces to the majestic horses charging into battle. Derek Bayes has skillfully photographed this remarkable piece with utmost precision and respect for its historical context. The composition beautifully juxtaposes elements of flight with those of ground warfare - symbolizing both technological advancement and traditional military tactics. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a pivotal moment in history but also marvel at human ingenuity. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress while honoring those who fought bravely on that fateful day at Fleurus.
