This 19th-century engraving, titled "Death of Marshal Lannes at Essling on 28 May 1809" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. The unknown artist skillfully captures the somber scene as we witness the tragic demise of Marshal Lannes during the Napoleonic War. The image depicts a chaotic battlefield, with smoke billowing and soldiers engaged in fierce combat. In the center, lies Marshal Lannes, a prominent figure in Napoleon's army, who meets his untimely end. His lifeless body is surrounded by fellow soldiers mourning their fallen comrade. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into this print conveys raw emotion and tells a story of sacrifice and heroism. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the brutal realities faced by those who fought for their countries during this tumultuous period. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this historical moment through his careful restoration work on this engraving.

This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst the chaos and destruction of war, there are moments that transcend time – moments that capture our attention and compel us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
