27th Conquest Litography Peninsular Saragossa Siege Persons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking litography print captures the intensity and drama of the Siege and Conquest of Saragossa during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). The image portrays a pivotal moment in the siege, which took place on February 27, 1809, as the French army, led by Marshal Jean-Andoche Junot, triumphantly enters the city of Saragossa after a long and brutal siege. The scene is filled with a sense of both victory and destruction, as the French soldiers raise their flags above the city walls, while the defeated Spanish and local militia men, dressed in white, surrender or flee in despair. The group of national library personnel in the foreground, observing the scene with somber expressions, underscores the historical significance of the event. The print, with its intricate details and dynamic composition, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Peninsular War and the fierce battle for Saragossa.
