EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print titled "Napoleon's Flight at the Battle of Waterloo, 18 June 1815" by Johann Lorenz Rugendas depicts a pivotal moment in history. The scene captures the intense chaos and desperation as two columns of the Imperial Guard, renowned as the elite infantry of the French army, are caught off guard and forced to retreat under heavy British musket fire. The artist masterfully portrays the collapse of morale among Napoleon's troops as they witness their revered Imperial Guard retreating. In this momentous battle, it is evident that this retreat becomes a turning point for Napoleon Bonaparte's forces. As the British advance en masse with determination and unity, Napoleon himself is compelled to flee from the field of battle. Rugendas skillfully conveys not only the human drama but also paints a vivid picture of war-torn landscapes strewn with smoke and debris. Horses gallop frantically amidst soldiers engaged in fierce combat while cuirassiers charge forward on horseback. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most significant battles - The Battle of Waterloo. It symbolizes both triumph and defeat, bravery and fear, ultimately capturing an important chapter in European military history during the Napoleonic Wars.
