EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Mont-Saint-Jean, which took place on 18 June 1815. The artwork, created by Major H. Kunz in coloured pencil and gouache on paper, showcases the English School's talent for depicting historical events with remarkable detail. The Battle of Mont-Saint-Jean was a crucial engagement during the Napoleonic Wars, fought on the reverse slope of an escarpment where the famous Battle of Waterloo occurred. Napoleon Bonaparte himself named this battle "la bataille de Mont-Saint-Jean". In this image, we witness soldiers from various armies - British, French, Belgian - locked in fierce combat amidst a sprawling landscape. The artist skillfully portrays formations and movements as troops clash in desperate struggle. The atmosphere is charged with tension as smoke billows from cannons and muskets fill the air. It is evident that victory hangs precariously in balance for both sides. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these soldiers but also of their sacrifices and losses. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that war leaves no one untouched; it affects nations and individuals alike. Displayed at eBibliotheque Marmottan in Paris, this powerful piece invites us to reflect upon history's defining moments while honoring those who fought valiantly on that fateful day over two centuries ago.
