EDITORS COMMENTS
December 2, 1805: The Triumph of the French Army at the Battle of Austerlitz This evocative print captures the aftermath of the Battle of Austerlitz, a pivotal moment in the Napoleonic Wars. The French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, had achieved a decisive victory over the combined forces of the Austrian and Russian armies on October 2, 1805. In the weeks following the battle, the French pursued the retreating enemy across the frozen Satschan Lake, near modern-day Brno in the Czech Republic. The print depicts the French cavalry engulfing the enemy troops as they attempt to cross the icy lake. The horses and riders, cloaked in thick winter coats, charge forward with determination and resolve, their eyes fixed on the prize: the surrender of the Austrian and Russian forces. The defeated soldiers, huddled together on the ice, raise their hands in surrender as they are surrounded by the victorious French cavalry. The Battle of Austerlitz marked a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars and solidified Napoleon's reputation as a military genius. The French army's victory allowed them to dominate Europe for the next decade, and the Treaty of Pressburg, signed on December 27, 1805, marked the end of the Third Coalition against France. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the events that shaped European history and the power of military strategy and determination.
