Aspern, a place etched in history and marked by the echoes of war. It was here that Archduke Charles stood resolute, his image immortalized in engravings, commanding 115, 000 Austrian troops against the might of Napoleon's forces. The Battle or Essling unfolded on this very ground, its contours intricately mapped out by William Blackwood and Sons. The clash between these two titans reverberated through time, leaving behind tales of heroism and tragedy. Marshal Lannes met his untimely end near Vienna during the French defeat at Aspern-Essling, forever remembered for his unwavering loyalty to Napoleon. The aftermath of this battle is vividly captured in color lithographs titled "After Aspern, " depicting the somber aftermath of conflict. Hinterbruhl stands witness to this historic event as well – a small town nestled amidst Austria's picturesque landscapes. Its tranquil beauty belies the fierce struggle that once raged nearby. Today, visitors can explore these hallowed grounds and pay homage to those who fought valiantly for their nations.
