EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Adolphe Appian, titled "The Entrance of the French into Milan, 15 May 1796," offers a glimpse into the historic moment when the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, triumphantly entered Milan on May 15, 1796. The image, created between 1805 and 1816, depicts a grand procession of French cavalry and infantry riding into the city, accompanied by musicians playing lively tunes. The animals, both horses and other mounts, are shown in various stages of excitement and obedience, reflecting the energy and chaos of the scene. Appian masterfully captures the essence of this pivotal moment in European history, with the French soldiers proudly displaying their flags and banners, and the citizens of Milan looking on in awe and wonder. The etching is a testament to the power and might of the French military, as well as the cultural exchange that took place between France and Italy during this period. The intricate details of the etching, executed on laid paper, showcase Appian's exceptional skill as an artist. From the individual facial expressions of the soldiers and citizens, to the intricate patterns on their uniforms and the textures of the horses' coats, every detail is rendered with precision and care. This etching is a must-see for anyone interested in European history, military history, or the art of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, "The Entrance of the French into Milan, 15 May 1796" can be found in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
