EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history - Napoleon and his staff standing resolutely in the grandeur of the Kremlin, just before the devastating fire that would consume Moscow. Taken from a private collection, this image transports us back to 1812 when Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte led his Grande Armée into Russia. Intricately detailed with fine artistry, this watercolour and gouache on paper painting by Serge de Savine depicts not only the military might of France but also reveals the grim reality faced by both soldiers and civilians during war. The faces of Napoleon and his staff exhibit determination mixed with weariness as they prepare for what lies ahead. The burning Moscow looms ominously in the background, symbolizing destruction and chaos. This event marked a turning point in Napoleon's Russian campaign, leading to hunger, misery, and suffering for both sides involved. It serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of the resilience shown by those who fought on these battlefields. It is an evocative portrayal that encapsulates not only war but also human vulnerability amidst great power struggles. This photograph print carries immense historical significance, offering us a glimpse into one of history's most tumultuous periods while honoring those who endured its hardships.
