The print captures a moment of historical significance, depicting Marshal Ney during the retreat from Russia in 1812. In this poignant image, we witness the harsh realities faced by Napoleon's army as they battled against the unforgiving Russian winter. The scene is filled with a sense of coldness and hardship, symbolizing the immense suffering endured by both soldiers and civilians. Ney, entrusted with leading the rearguard, stands tall amidst the wintry landscape. His stoic expression reveals his determination to fulfill his duty despite overwhelming odds. As one of Napoleon's most trusted commanders, he shoulders great responsibility in protecting his retreating comrades. This artwork was created in 1894 by Adolphe Yvon for Le Petit Journal, showcasing not only Ney's bravery but also serving as a reminder of France's failed invasion and its devastating consequences. The artist skillfully uses color to convey the chilling atmosphere and evoke emotions associated with war and loss.
