EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and historic moment of the "Storming of Ciudad Rodrigo by the Light Division on the night of the 19th January 1812". Engraved by J. H. Clark and H. Merke, this masterpiece was published in February 1815, showcasing a coloured aquatint that brings to life the events that unfolded during this significant battle. The image depicts a fortress city under attack as troops led by Captain Gurwood charge forward fearlessly. The Forlon Hope, guided by Captain Dobbs, leads with unwavering determination amidst an explosion-filled nocturne scene. The fiery fireballs illuminate the dark sky, casting an eerie glow over the breach in the fortress walls. Every detail in this artwork highlights both victory and chaos simultaneously. The English School artist who created this piece has skillfully captured not only the physicality of warfare but also its emotional impact on those involved. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder at Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to that fateful night in Spain during the Peninsular War. It serves as a reminder of bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers who fought valiantly for their cause.
