This engraving captures the noble and distinguished figure of Eugene de Beauharnais, Duke of Leuchtenberg, a key historical figure in the 19th century. As the son of Alexandre de Beauharnais and Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, who was famously known as the first wife of Napoleon I, Eugene had a significant role in European politics and military affairs during his lifetime. Eugene rose to prominence as he became the stepson and adopted child of Napoleon I, eventually commanding the Army of Italy and serving as Viceroy of Italy under his stepfather's rule. His influence extended even further when he was appointed Arch-Chancellor of State for the French Empire by decree in 1805. The inset illustration within this print showcases the Battle of Smolensk, a pivotal moment in history that marked one of the first major battles during the French invasion of Russia in August 1812. This battle holds immense significance in shaping European geopolitics at that time. Through this detailed engraving, we are transported back to an era where power dynamics were shifting rapidly, and individuals like Eugene de Beauharnais played crucial roles on both political and military fronts. The intricate details captured in this artwork offer us a glimpse into a tumultuous period filled with ambition, conquests, and alliances that shaped modern Europe as we know it today.
