"The Battle of Fontenoy, 11th May 1745, 1828" is a historical engraving by Charles-Nicolas II Cochin, a French artist known for his mastery in the art of engraving. The work depicts the Battle of Fontenoy, a significant engagement during the War of the Austrian Succession, where French forces under King Louis XV and Marshal Maurice de Saxe confronted the Allied army composed of British, Dutch, and Austrian troops led by the Duke of Cumberland.

Created in 1828, Cochin's engraving is not only a work of art but also a document of historical interest, capturing the drama and intensity of the battle that took place on May 11, 1745. The Battle of Fontenoy was a pivotal moment in the war, as it marked a major victory for the French and solidified the reputation of Marshal de Saxe as one of the era's foremost military commanders.

Cochin's representation is noted for its attention to detail and its effort to convey the chaos and violence of the battlefield. The engraving serves as an example of the Romantic fascination with historical subjects and the valorization of national history that was prevalent in the art of the period. It is a testament to the artist's skill in translating the grandeur and complexity of historical events into the medium of engraving, which was an important form of visual communication in the 19th century.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual culture of the time, offering contemporary audiences a means to engage with their past. As an artifact of the post-Napoleonic era, it reflects the period's interest in military glory and the shaping of national identity through the commemoration of historical battles.
