EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Isidore Exelmans, a renowned French soldier who played a significant role in the Battle of Rocquencourt in 1815. Painted by Henri Meyer and published in Le Petit Journal on February 14th, 1897, this artwork showcases Exelmans as a fearless commander leading his troops into battle. Exelmans' distinguished military career spanned both the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, making him an iconic figure of his time. The Battle of Rocquencourt holds historical significance as it was the final clash fought by Napoleon's Grande Armee following their defeat at Waterloo. Located in the outskirts of Paris, Rocquencourt became witness to Exelman's unwavering determination and strategic prowess. The artist skillfully portrays Exelmans charging forward on horseback amidst chaos and turmoil. This vivid depiction reflects not only the intensity of warfare but also highlights the courage and resilience displayed by soldiers like Exelmans during that era. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this engraving serves as a powerful reminder of France's rich military history. It encapsulates not just one man's story but also symbolizes the bravery exhibited by countless individuals who fought for their country during times of war. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images, we are transported back to the nineteenth century - an era defined by conflict, honor, and sacrifice.
