EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the British Army - the Battle of Corunna. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print depicts the heroic scene of soldiers carrying Sir John Moore from the battle-field. The intensity and emotion portrayed in this artwork are truly remarkable. The Battle of Corunna took place during the Peninsular War in Spain, where British forces fought against French troops. In this particular engagement, Sir John Moore, a respected British general, was mortally wounded on the battlefield. Despite his injuries, his loyal soldiers refused to leave him behind and risked their own lives to carry him to safety. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The expressions on each soldier's face reflect determination and courage amidst chaos and danger. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, enhancing both drama and realism. Published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in 1895, this print not only commemorates a significant military event but also serves as a testament to heroism and camaraderie within the British Army. Displayed proudly among other historical artifacts or art collections, this lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into one of Britain's most storied battles. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war, acts of bravery can unite soldiers under one common goal - protecting their comrades at all costs.
