Painting Description
"The Horses Ridden by Louis Philippe, the Duke of Orleans at the Battle of Valmy, Engraved by Victor Adam (1801-1866) c.1834-38" is a notable work of art by the French painter Carle Vernet, who specialized in depicting horses and military scenes. This particular piece is an engraving that captures a historical moment from the French Revolutionary Wars, specifically the Battle of Valmy, which took place on September 20, 1792. The battle was a pivotal event that marked the first significant victory by the army of France and bolstered the French First Republic's morale.
Carle Vernet, born Antoine Charles Horace Vernet in 1758, was a prominent artist of his time, known for his fine detail and accuracy in the portrayal of horses. His work often reflected his keen interest in the Napoleonic era and military subjects. In this engraving, Vernet depicts the horses ridden by Louis Philippe, the Duke of Orleans, who would later become King Louis Philippe I of France. The Duke of Orleans participated in the Battle of Valmy as a general in the French army, and his presence in this artwork highlights the intersection of French military history and royal lineage.
Victor Adam, the engraver, was an accomplished French lithographer and painter, recognized for his illustrations and engravings of animals, particularly horses, as well as scenes from battles and hunts. His collaboration with Carle Vernet on this piece allowed for the meticulous rendering of Vernet's original composition, ensuring that the dynamism and detail of the horses were faithfully translated into the engraved medium.
Created in the period between 1834 and 1838, this work not only serves as a historical document but also exemplifies the artistic collaboration between two significant French artists of the 19th century. It reflects the Romantic era's fascination with heroism and the grandeur of historical events, while also showcasing the technical skill and artistic mastery involved in the creation of engravings during this period. The artwork remains an important piece for both art historians and those interested in the Napoleonic era and the evolution of French military iconography.
