The Attack at Dawn, 1877. Creator: Alphonse de Neuville

The Attack at Dawn, 1877. The scene is a French town in the Jura region, near the Swiss border. As a bugler sounds the alarm, French troops (Algerian riflemen and members of the Garde Mobile) rush from an inn to defend themselves from the advancing Prussians. Rather than dwelling on France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), de Neuville, a veteran of the war, specialized in works glorifying his country's heroic resistance rather than its military defeat. He took exceptional efforts to re-create the subjects factually, revisiting the battlefields and studying the weapons, uniforms, and other paraphernalia of war

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Attack at Dawn," an oil on canvas masterpiece by Alphonse Marie Adolphe de Neuville, captures a pivotal moment during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Set in a quaint French town in the Jura region, near the Swiss border, the scene unfolds as a bugler sounds the alarm, summoning Algerian riflemen and members of the Garde Mobile to defend against the encroaching Prussians. De Neuville, a veteran of the war, dedicated himself to creating works that celebrated France's heroic resistance rather than dwelling on its military defeat. To ensure factual accuracy, he visited battlefields and meticulously studied the weapons, uniforms, and other paraphernalia of war. The painting depicts the soldiers rushing from an inn, their faces etched with determination and urgency, as they prepare to defend their town against the onslaught of the advancing enemy. Gunfire erupts in the background, punctuating the wintry air with the sound of conflict. Snow covers the ground, adding a stark contrast to the vibrant colors of the soldiers' uniforms and the reds and oranges of the exploding gunpowder. As the sun rises over the town, casting long shadows and bathing the scene in a soft, golden light, the soldiers stand resolute, their music playing in the background, a testament to their unwavering spirit. This evocative painting, with its intricate details and powerful imagery, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination displayed during the Franco-Prussian War. Displayed in various museums, including the Walters Art Museum, "The Attack at Dawn" is a significant work of 19th-century art that continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in European history.
