EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of the Capture of French Marshal Joachim Murat in Calabria, Italy, in 1815. The image exudes a sense of anger and fury as the humiliated French general is captured by Italian soldiers along the coastal region. The lithograph, dating back to the 19th century, portrays a powerful concept of insurrection and uprising against foreign rule. In this historic scene, we witness a country's determination to reclaim its sovereignty from France during the Napoleonic Wars. Marshal Murat, known as Joachim Napoleon Murat and also King of Naples at one point, finds himself defeated and betrayed on Italian soil. His military uniform symbolizes his former power now overshadowed by defeat. Surrounded by soldiers with faces filled with rage, it is impossible not to notice a lone female figure standing nearby. Her presence adds an intriguing element to this composition—perhaps she represents a symbol of resilience or serves as an embodiment of Italy herself. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances the dramatic atmosphere surrounding this pivotal event in history. This print is part of "Cassells History of England - Special Edition" published around 1890 by Cassell and Company Limited in London, Paris, New York & Melbourne. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our pasts preserved through time by unknown hands behind The Print Collector's lens—we are reminded that even amidst war and turmoil—the spirit for freedom remains unyielding within both men
