EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fire of Moscow on September 1812 (The French in Moscow), 1818" offers a haunting glimpse into one of the most significant events in history. The image, found in the esteemed Collection of State Museum of A. S. Pushkin in Moscow, depicts the devastating fire that engulfed the city during Napoleon's invasion of Russia. In this fine art piece created using aquatint technique, we witness the chaos and destruction caused by war as flames consume buildings and smoke billows into the sky. It serves as a stark reminder of the immense suffering endured by both soldiers and civilians alike. Emperor Napoleon I, depicted here with his Grande Armée, had hoped to conquer Russia but instead faced defeat and retreat. This neoclassical artwork captures not only the military aspects but also conveys a sense of misery and hunger experienced by those caught up in this brutal conflict. The artist Giovanni Antonio skillfully portrays scenes within Moscow's Kremlin where soldiers march on through a town ravaged by war atrocities. Amidst all this turmoil, we see individuals who have become victims; their faces reflect pain and despair. This powerful historical document reminds us of the profound consequences that wars can bring upon nations and its people. It stands as an important testament to human resilience amidst unimaginable hardship.
