"Marshal Michel Ney 1769-1815 at the redoubt of Kovno, 1812" is a 19th-century lithograph by the French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, an illustrator and lithographer known for his depictions of military subjects, particularly those involving Napoleon and his armies. The artwork captures a moment from the Napoleonic Wars, specifically the French invasion of Russia in 1812, showcasing Marshal Michel Ney, one of Napoleon's most trusted military commanders, at the redoubt (a temporary or supplementary fortification) of Kovno, which is the modern-day city of Kaunas in Lithuania.

The lithograph is significant for its historical representation of the events surrounding the retreat from Moscow, where Ney earned the nickname "the bravest of the brave" for his rear-guard actions during the disastrous withdrawal of the Grande Armée. Raffet's portrayal of Ney is imbued with romanticism, emphasizing the heroism and resilience of the Marshal in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The work is part of a broader series of prints by Raffet that illustrate the epic scale and human drama of the Napoleonic era. His detailed and dynamic style captures the intensity of battle and the character of its participants, making his works valuable not only as art but also as historical documents that reflect the 19th-century fascination with the Napoleonic legend.

As an artist, Raffet was highly regarded for his mastery of lithography, a printing process that allows for the creation of images through the use of a greasy medium on a limestone plate. His works contributed to the popularization of military subjects in French art and played a role in shaping the collective memory of the Napoleonic Wars in the cultural consciousness of Europe.

"Marshal Michel Ney 1769-1815 at the redoubt of Kovno, 1812" remains an important work within Raffet's oeuvre and continues to be studied by historians and art enthusiasts alike for its artistic merit and historical significance.
