About the Item
Pencil, chalk and watercolour depiction of Napoleon at the head of his generals by French artist Jean Ducel. The work is signed bottom right.
A bold and graphic depiction of Napoleon in his two corner cockaded hat on horseback at the head of his Grande Armée. An assortment of generals in all their finery, all wearing their hats in the traditional manner, and Prussian Hussars in their distinctive uniforms and plumed kepi. The group are preparing for battle, we can feel the energy in the horses and their riders. Ducel in his distinctive style has captured the scene almost as an illustration concentrating on the figures with little reference to the background.
La Grande Armée (French for 'The Great Army') was the main military component of the French Imperial Army commanded by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte during the Napoleonic Wars. From 1804 to 1808, it won a series of military victories that allowed the French Empire to exercise unprecedented control over most of Europe. Widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest fighting forces ever assembled, it suffered enormous losses during the disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812, after which it never recovered its strategic superiority.
