EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Napoleon extricating Lannes Artillery before the Battle of Iena" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The artwork, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures the victorious French army led by Napoleon Bonaparte during the Battle of Iena on October 14th, 1806. In this scene, we witness Napoleon's strategic brilliance as he personally directs the clearing and widening of a path previously used by goats. This clever maneuver allows for the smooth movement of artillery to a more advantageous position. It is said that Jean Lannes, one of Napoleon's most successful Generals and Marshals, commanded the 5th Corps present during this battle. The image portrays not only military prowess but also highlights Napoleon's resourcefulness and ability to adapt to any situation. As Prussian General Hohenlohe leads his troops into battle against the French forces, it becomes evident that their cunning marshal has outwitted them with his ruse. This historic engraving serves as a testament to both Napoleonic legend and military strategy. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where battles were fought with calculated precision and innovative tactics determined victory or defeat. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and allow us to appreciate pivotal moments in our shared human story.
