EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle between Russian troops and French cavalry near Ostrovno on 25-26 July 1812. The artist, Jean Jacques Outhwaite (1815-1877), skillfully depicts the chaos and brutality of war through his graphic arts expertise. In this scene, we witness the devastating consequences of Napoleon's invasion of Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. The image portrays a town engulfed in flames as soldiers from both sides engage in fierce combat. The misery and suffering endured by these warriors are palpable, reflecting the harsh realities faced by those caught in the midst of conflict. Outhwaite's etching conveys a sense of desperation as Russian troops valiantly defend their homeland against the invading French forces led by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. This historical event marked a turning point in the campaign, leading to further atrocities and ultimately culminating in Moscow's capture. The fine art composition evokes patriotism and serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by those who fought for their country during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it is impossible not to be moved by its depiction of war victims and appreciate its significance within history. This rare print from a private collection offers us an opportunity to reflect on one chapter of our shared past - reminding us that even amidst destruction, there is still beauty to be found within academic art forms like Outhwaite's masterpiece.
