"Prussienne: A Historical Tapestry of Triumphs and Turmoil" Step into the captivating world of Prussienne, a name that resonates with power, conflict, and resilience. From the grand entry of Napoleon I into Berlin, leading his formidable guard through the iconic Brandenburg Gate in 1806, to the tumultuous Siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War in September 1870, this collection of historical moments paints a vivid picture. Intriguingly captured on canvas by talented artists like K. Beeskow in the 19th century, we witness Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), known as Frederick the Great. His portrait exudes both strength and intellect – traits that defined his reign. The engravings transport us to pivotal events such as Jules Favre giving powers for National Defense at Bordeaux's National Assembly in February 1871 or Giuseppe Garibaldi's presence at another assembly later that same year. These scenes depict a nation grappling with its destiny amidst political upheaval. The Franco-Prussian War takes center stage throughout this collection; it showcases not only battles like Villiers but also everyday life during wartime. Engravings capture Prussian soldiers defending villages while French machine guns symbolize technological advancements shaping warfare strategies. Yet amidst these conflicts lies an undeniable human spirit. The ratification of peace preliminaries at France's National Assembly on March 1st, 1871 signifies hope for reconciliation after years marked by bloodshed and destruction. Finally, we glimpse into one poignant moment when Paris succumbs to occupation by Prussian troops along Rue du Bac on that very same day—March 1st, 1871—a testament to endurance against overwhelming odds. Through oil paintings and engravings alike, "Prussienne" encapsulates an era where history unfolded before our eyes—an era filled with triumphs and turmoil alike.
