EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the historic attack on Fort Du Bard, a formidable fortress that stood in the path of the French army as they advanced through the St. Bernard Pass into Italy during the Italian Campaign of the French Revolutionary Wars in June 1800. The fort, which had long guarded the strategic pass, was a significant obstacle to the French forces seeking to expand their territory and assert their dominance in Europe. The image captures the intensity and determination of the French assault, as artillery fire rains down on the fortress walls, signaling the beginning of a heavy bombardment that would last for several days. The French troops, clad in their distinctive blue uniforms, are shown advancing steadfastly towards the fort, their muskets at the ready. The rugged terrain of the Alps, with its snow-capped peaks and rocky outcroppings, provides a dramatic backdrop to the scene. Despite the fort's strong defenses and the valiant efforts of its garrison, the relentless bombardment and assault eventually proved to be too much. The fortress, which had stood as a symbol of Italian resistance, capitulated to the French forces, marking a significant victory in their Italian campaign. The events of this battle would go down in history as a turning point in the French Revolutionary Wars, and the fall of Fort Du Bard would pave the way for the French army's continued advance into Italy. This print offers a captivating glimpse into a pivotal moment in European history, providing a visual record of the courage and determination of the soldiers involved, as well as the strategic importance of the St. Bernard Pass in the larger context of the French Revolutionary Wars.
