EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a pivotal moment in history - Napoleon on horseback, retreating from Moscow. The image conveys the defeat and humiliation of the French army during the Napoleonic Wars in 1812. As Napoleon rides through the snow-covered landscape, his expression is one of discomfort and defeat.
The harsh winter weather adds to the sense of desolation and failure as Napoleon's once mighty army retreats from Moscow. The Russian forces have emerged victorious, marking a turning point in the campaign that would ultimately lead to Napoleon's downfall.
The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated. It serves as a reminder of the brutal realities of war and the unpredictable nature of military campaigns. Despite his earlier successes, Napoleon's retreat from Moscow symbolizes his ultimate defeat at the hands of his enemies.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to experience firsthand the drama and intensity of this historical event. This print is not just a visual representation but also a poignant reminder of the consequences of overreaching ambition and military miscalculations.
