"La Guerre En Crimée" (The War in Crimea) is a series of artworks by Constantin Guys, a Dutch-born French artist known for his work as an illustrator and war correspondent. Born in 1802, Guys gained recognition for his vivid on-the-spot drawings that captured the realities of 19th-century life, including the Crimean War (1853–1856). This conflict, fought primarily on the Crimean Peninsula between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia, was a subject of significant interest in the period's art and journalism.

Guys' work during the Crimean War involved sketching scenes of battles, camp life, and the daily routines of soldiers. His illustrations served as a visual record of the events for those on the home front, providing a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the experiences of war. "La Guerre En Crimée" reflects Guys' keen observational skills and his ability to convey movement and atmosphere through rapid, expressive lines. His illustrations were often reproduced in popular periodicals of the time, such as the Illustrated London News, bringing his work to a wide audience.

The series is notable for its historical value and artistic merit, as it captures the essence of the Crimean War from a human perspective, often highlighting the plight of the common soldier rather than glorifying the conflict. Guys' work is characterized by a sense of immediacy and fluidity, which was achieved through his use of watercolors, ink, and pencil. His reportage-style approach influenced later generations of artists and journalists, contributing to the development of modern war reporting.

Constantin Guys' "La Guerre En Crimée" remains an important contribution to the visual documentation of 19th-century warfare and is a testament to the artist's legacy as a pioneer of on-the-spot illustration. The series is preserved in various art institutions and continues to be studied for its artistic significance and its insightful portrayal of a pivotal historical event.
