NAPOLEON: RETREAT, 1812. Napoleons army retreating from Moscow. Drawing, 4 January 1813. This print captures the somber scene of Napoleon's army in retreat from Moscow during the winter of 1812. Created by Christian Wilhelm von Faber du Faur, a lieutenant in the Wurttemberg Army that participated in the ill-fated French invasion, this drawing offers a poignant glimpse into one of history's most infamous military campaigns. In this artwork, we witness the harsh realities faced by Napoleon and his soldiers as they navigate through freezing temperatures and treacherous conditions. The bitter cold is palpable as men on horse-drawn sledges struggle to make their way back home amidst frost-covered landscapes. The defeated expressions on their faces tell tales of exhaustion and defeat, while Napoleon himself can be seen atop his horse, whip in hand, trying to maintain order within his crumbling empire. It serves as a powerful reminder of how even great emperors are not immune to failure. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes clear that war does not discriminate against its victims – both soldier and civilian alike suffer under its relentless grip. This print stands as a testament to the resilience and sacrifice displayed by those who endured this brutal campaign. Through Faber du Faur's skillful artistry, we are transported back to an early January day in 1813 when hope dwindled with each passing mile towards home for Napoleon's
