"Prince de la Moskowa: The Unyielding Marshal Ney and his Legendary Legacy" Step back in time to the tumultuous era of 19th-century Europe, where one name echoed through history with unwavering valor - Prince de la Moskowa. Marshall Ney, during the harrowing retreat from Russia in 1812, displayed indomitable courage that would forever be etched into the annals of warfare. Gustave Le Gray's captivating portrayal of "Prince Moskova at Chalons" transports us to a moment frozen in time - an emblematic figure amidst the chaos. In contrast, an engraving titled "Portrait of Marshal Michel Ney" captures his stoic countenance as he emerged from the ashes of battlefields in 1814. The resolute spirit embodied by Ney is further depicted in Thomas Rowlandson's masterpiece "Hell Hounds Rallying Round the Idol of France. " Here we witness how this revered warrior rallied his troops even when faced with insurmountable odds on April 8, 1815. As years passed, artists sought to immortalize this enigmatic figure. Whether it be through unknown creators' depictions like "Ney (1769-1815)" or Ruhiere's poignant portrait titled "Michel Ney, " each brushstroke captured a glimpse into his complex character. Henry Wolf's evocative artwork titled "Marshal Ney Sustaining The Rear-Guard of the Grand Army" vividly illustrates how he valiantly defended against relentless adversaries during Napoleon's ill-fated Russian campaign in 1812. Similarly, R's depiction named "Marshal Michel Ney, Duke of Elchingen, Prince of Moskwa" encapsulates both his military prowess and prestigious titles earned through countless battles fought with unwavering loyalty. Notably remembered for his role at Quatre Bras on June 16th, 1815.
