EDITORS COMMENTS
Napoleon at Jena: A Moment Before Victory, by Jacques-Louis David Vernet The year was 1806, and the stage was set for one of the most decisive battles in Napoleonic War history: the Battle of Jena. In this evocative print by Jacques-Louis Vernet, we find Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military and political leader, deep in thought as he reviews his troops before they charge into battle against the formidable Prussian army. The date, 14 October, looms large in the background, a testament to the significance of the day. Napoleon's expression is intense and focused, his gaze fixed on the horizon as he contemplates the outcome of the impending conflict. His men, a sea of blue and red, stand at attention, their faces a mix of determination and apprehension. The atmosphere is electric, the tension palpable. The Battle of Jena was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, marking the end of Prussian resistance and giving Napoleon command over all of Prussia. This victory catapulted him to new heights of power and influence, cementing his place in history as a military genius and a force to be reckoned with. This print, with its intricate details and dramatic composition, transports us back to that fateful day in October 1806. It is a poignant reminder of the human drama that unfolds on the battlefield, and the indelible mark that Napoleon left on European history.
