Large Framed Glazed Print: The Battle of Hanau By Horace Vernet
This beautiful framed glazed print depicts The Battle of Hanau, which is a 1824 history painting by the French artist Horace Vernet.
It depicts the Battle of Hanau fought at Hanau in Hesse in October 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars.
Following the heavy defeat for Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig earlier in the month, Bavarian forces (having recently changed sides) attempted to block Napoleon's retreat towards the Rhine. An Austro-Bavarian force under Marshal Wrede was defeated by the retreating elements of the Grande Armée. This allowed Napoleon to reach France with some forces intact and take the field for a further year's campaign in 1814.
