Framed Print of "Campagne de France", or "1814", picture by Meissonier, recently sold for £34, 000, 1890. Creator: Unknown
"Campagne de France", or "1814", by Meissonier, recently sold for £34, 000, 1890. Engraving from a photograph by Lecadre. Painting from the "Napoleonic Cycle, " [which]...has just changed owners, at a fabulous price...in 1864, the sum paid by M. Delahante - 70, 000 francs (£2800) - was considered enormous...Since then the work has been so frequently engraved and otherwise reproduced, that the far-sighted purchaser must long since have recouped himself his original outlay. The re-sale, therefore, of the picture to M. Chauchard for the sum of 850, 000 francs (£34, 000) is the more noteworthy, especially as M. Meissonier is still living...The picture...is supposed to depict one of the last scenes of that grand drama which brought the First Empire to a close, on the stubbornly contested fields of Champagne...we see the Emperor slowly retiring from some hard-fought and unnamed field, retracing the road which, as the deep ruts in the snow bear witness, his troops had traversed, perhaps, only a few hours before, with hopes of victory. The Emperor rides alone, on his famous white charger Marengo, silent and despondent...behind him is "le plus brave des braves, " Marshal Ney...Marshal Berthier...has fallen asleep in his saddle...from sheer exhaustion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
