EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical event known as the "Retreat of Napoleon from Russia". Created in 1866 by Adolf Northen, a renowned artist from Dusseldorf, this oil on canvas piece measures 29 x 41.5 cm. The painting depicts the dramatic and treacherous journey undertaken by Napoleon Bonaparte and his army during their retreat from Russia in 1812. As winter set in and Russian forces closed in, Napoleon's grand ambitions were shattered, resulting in a devastating defeat for his troops. Adolf Northen masterfully captures the essence of this harrowing episode with his skilled brushstrokes and attention to detail. The desolate landscape conveys the harsh conditions faced by both soldiers and horses alike, while subtle hints of despair can be seen etched upon their faces. Signed and dated lower right, this artwork bears witness to Northen's talent as well as his deep understanding of historical events. Born in Hann Munden in 1828, he was an esteemed member of the artistic community in Dusseldorf until his untimely death at age 48. This remarkable print serves not only as a visual testament to one of history's most significant military campaigns but also as a tribute to Adolf Northen's artistic prowess. Its presence is sure to captivate viewers with its evocative portrayal of bravery amidst adversity.
