EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Watching Moscow Burn" captures a pivotal moment in history during Napoleon's disastrous Russian expedition in 1812. In this haunting image, we see the French emperor standing amidst the chaos and destruction as he watches Moscow engulfed in flames.
Napoleon's campaign to conquer Russia ultimately proved to be a catastrophic failure, leading to the infamous burning of Moscow by its own citizens as they refused to surrender their city to the invading forces. The Napoleonic Wars were marked by countless brutal battles and strategic blunders, but perhaps none more significant than this fateful event.
As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are reminded of the high cost of war and conquest. The devastation wrought upon Moscow serves as a stark reminder of the human toll of conflict and the consequences of unchecked ambition.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the aftermath of Napoleon's ill-fated Russian campaign. This print is not just a visual representation of events long past; it is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact that historical events can have on our collective consciousness.
