Wasn't sure which thread to post in, but great images anyway and who cares if they have been repeated. The more the merrier, I say.

Thanks, Gazzola. This is the right place to post in.

And I agree with you. ;-)

Me too, thanks.

I have never seen the one with the Chausseurs of the guard charging in color!! Superb.

Russ Dunaway

My pleasure. ;-)

One more…

NAPOLEON'S ENTRY INTO BERLIN, painted by Jan Van Chelminski. Right-click on the images and copy image address.

Link: link

I will try to find more.

Well that has me intrigued.

I thought I had most images of "Napoleon's Coach". (I always love the idea that he had only one, over nearly two decades)

This is interesting, not just because it seems to have no connection at all with entering Berlin.

Who can identify the escort in attendance on the Emperor?

A Coachman AND a postilion? Seems belt and braces to me. Poor Roustam or Ali just sat there, hanging on for dear life. They did not drive.

A coach and four? In town yes, in country…… six. The curious cover in front of the chariot/post chaise/ dormouse/ berline (no one can agree on terminology) cab. What does that do? It covers no one.

But then…finally. What an incredible piece of artwork. See the horses' breath in the frost, the reflective road surface, the skyline….what a find! Nice one……

Go on Cuirassier, surprise me again. This is a real find!

Maybe its a bad translation and should be: "Napoleons entry in A Berlin"??

Squadron in attendance/Escort; red pelisse, blue breeches, could be 4th Hussars, a tad bit to light blue on the one caracther that you actually see the breeches on, but still 4th Hussars I would say..

Dr J

Of course….in a Berline. Durrrh…I never fought of dat.

great picture….

I will do my best, deadhead.

I would like very much to see this one… To see the original painting in full color.

Retour des dragons de l'armée d'Espagne pendant la campagne de France, en 1814. Return of the French dragoons in 1814. Two divisions of French Dragoons, commanded by Generals Trelliard and Roussel d'Hurbal, arrived from Spain to reinforce General Kellermann's 6th Cavalry Corps and participate in the campaign of France. Painted by Alphonse Lalauze.

Enjoy. ;-)

Cuirassier: I don't believe I have never seen any of these before, (how did I miss them, I don't know). They are great!!! Thanks very much for posting them, (I love this kind of stuff)!!! John Miller

Can I just add my thanks?

These are all new to me and just superb. Everyone else, do follow the links…you will not be disappointed!

Retour des dragons de l'armée d'Espagne pendant la campagne de France, en 1814

Always one of my favorite pics – thoyght about when we played Craonne! Have never seen it in colour!

My pleasure, John Miller and deadhead.

Alphonse Lalauze was a prolifc and very talented painter. Unfortunately, it's very hard to find good quality digital copies of his works on the internet (large size and colored).

Take a look at this one. 3rd Regiment of Gardes d'honneur ready to charge (in one of the battles of 1813 or 1814).

Maybe, just maybe, you will be directed to the Photobucket page of this image. Beware of spam. Photobucket is loaded with adds (and some of them are strange to say the least).

As a bonus… Here's the original imperial decree that created the regiments of Gardes d'honneur (detailing the establishment and composition of the regiments): PDF link

Tip: Use the zoom, Luke. ;-)

And there is our friend the Adjoint to the imperial guard again:)
Great picture!
There are lots of paintings and drawings bt Lalauze to be seen on pinterest.
Just type in his name as a search reference.

Thanks for sharing these gems Cuirassier!

DrJ

Interesting to see them with cords front and back – I understood they double fronted them

So is modern research better, or did the artist know something

DrJ… Yes, I'm afraid the infamous Adjoint is back. :-D

"There are lots of paintings and drawings bt Lalauze to be seen on pinterest."

I'm aware of pinterest, but I want really big images. ;-) And only a few of them are high quality.

Most of you probably know this painting by Edouard Detaille, but I have never seen a digital copy with this quality.

Général Espagne à la bataille dHeilsberg en 1807 (General Espagne at the Battle of Heilsberg in 1807)

Click on the image to enlarge it: link

LARGER IMAGE: link

Espagne led the 3rd French Heavy Cavalry Division into battle at the Battle of Heilsberg where he was wounded. In recognition of his service, he was named Grand Officer of the Légion d'honneur the next month. Another reward came in 1808 when he was made Count of the Empire.

Espagne's division of cuirassiers was next stationed in Germany under the overall command of Marshal Davout. When the Austrians attacked in the spring of 1809, Espagne's division became part of Marshal Lannes' II Corps and they took part in the Danube campaign. During the first day of the Battle of Aspern-Essling, Espagne's cocked hat was shot and damaged, and in response he simply turned his hat so the undamaged side faced the front. Unfortunately, later in the day he was directly hit, and bleeding profusely, he was transported to the isle of Lobau by his men. He died within a matter of minutes.

Marshal Bessières and his scort of Polish Lancers of the French Imperial Guard in 1813, painted by Jan Van Chelminski.

Great find!!
I really need to have him on a vignette with a proper guard escort.
The adc/escort a la hussard, who/what you unit??
Saxon hussar officer? 1st French?

Don't know the answer, Dr. Jeckyll. Sorry.

Here's a surprise… A young Detaille painted this one in 1867 (at the time he was still studying with Meissonier).

"La Revue"… Napoleon reviewing the 1st Grenadiers a Pied of the French Imperial Guard in 1810. Click on the image to enlarge it: link

Both brilliant pictures and both new to me. Amazing what folk can still turn up. Funny thing, the Hussar picture reproduces better on TMP. than it does on the link!

The frame around the Napoleon picture is so like that around Junot, that I posted recently…the stars etc.

Tricolour under the eagle in 1810? Bit early is it not? I always associate that with 1812ish….whether rightly or wrongly…

Cuirassier: I have seen the 2nd Hussars before, (don't remember where), and remember being impressed with the detail of the sabre, which catches the eye immediately. Have never seen the HQ of the Chasseurs a Cheval of the Guard before. I have always imagined French museums to be full of this kind of stuff. Thanks again for posting these!!! John Miller

Cuirassier

you are doing us a great service

The Grand Armée crossing the Berezina. Painted by Wojciech Kossak. Napoleon's forces crossing the Berezina, a 1895 oil painting by Wojciech Kossak and Julian Fałat, originally part of a large panorama titled Berezina, subsequently cut into pieces and sold as separate paintings.

So many brilliant features in that second picture. Never seen it before.

I have a thing about carriages of this era.

I have tried the right click thing and can "inspect source" but nothing seems to connect me…I am very IT illiterate, so any help with a link appreciated++

Do not fear, Cuirassier is here! :-)

Follow this link: link , then find this painting, the only painting in the second row, then click on it. Wait for the next screen to appear and click on the image (don't forget to click on the image to enlarge it).

Another part of the panorama… Click on the image to enlarge it: link

Cuirassier: More great stuff!!! Thanks again, John Miller

Works brilliantly and several other images on that link just as good. I had only seen the burning of the eagles (OK, eagles don't burn I know realise)detail, but never the rest………. thanks indeed!
