The War of the Third Coalition was a pivotal conflict in European history, marked by significant battles and strategic maneuvers. One such battle was the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805, depicted beautifully by artist Gerard Francois Pascal Simon. The painting captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield as Napoleon's forces clashed with their enemies. In another iconic painting, Clarkson Frederick Stanfield portrays the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805. This naval engagement showcased Admiral Nelson's tactical brilliance and secured British dominance at sea. Amidst these battles, Napoleon and his army crossed the Rhine at Kehl on October 1, 1805. A color lithograph showcases this momentous event that set the stage for further military campaigns. To understand the grand scale of these operations, one can refer to a detailed map illustrating how Ulm capitulated during this period. It highlights key locations and movements that shaped the outcome of this coalition war. Interestingly enough, dreams played a role in shaping events as well. In an evocative watercolor from around 1890 titled "Dreams, " we see ethereal figures hinting at both hope and uncertainty surrounding this tumultuous era. On that fateful morning before the Battle of Austerlitz commenced, Napoleon slept peacefully through a dark night only to be awakened by rays of sunlight breaking through clouds—a scene captured vividly in a color lithograph from that time. A map published by William Blackwood and Sons provides insight into another critical battle—Trafalgar—showcasing its intricate details and strategies employed by both sides. Amongst notable figures involved in this coalition war was Field Marshal Prince Mikhail Kutuzov—an influential leader whose portrait painted in 1813 reflects his commanding presence amidst turbulent times. Napoleon himself became synonymous with these conflicts.
