"Battle of Borodino on 26th August 1812, 1913" is a panoramic painting by the Russian artist Franz Roubaud, created in 1912 to commemorate the centenary of the pivotal Battle of Borodino, fought between the Grande Armée of Napoleon and the Russian army under General Kutuzov on September 7, 1812. This battle was one of the most significant engagements of the French invasion of Russia and played a crucial role in the eventual failure of Napoleon's campaign.

Franz Roubaud (1856–1928) was a notable painter of panoramic works, a genre that gained popularity in the 19th century for its immersive, large-scale depictions of historical events. Born in Odessa, then part of the Russian Empire, Roubaud studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and became renowned for his ability to capture the grandeur and complexity of battle scenes.

The "Battle of Borodino" panorama is one of Roubaud's most famous works and is exemplary of his skill in conveying the intensity and chaos of warfare. The painting measures an impressive size, typical of panoramas, which were designed to be displayed in circular buildings and viewed from the inside, giving spectators a 360-degree visual experience that surrounded them with the scene.

Roubaud's attention to detail and dedication to historical accuracy are evident in the work. He conducted extensive research, including visiting the battlefield and consulting historical documents and eyewitness accounts, to ensure that his portrayal was as true to life as possible. The result is a vivid representation of the battle, with dynamic composition and dramatic use of color that brings to life the ferocity of the conflict and the determination of both the French and Russian forces.

The painting was originally displayed in a purpose-built rotunda in Moscow and became an important cultural artifact, serving not only as a work of art but also as a patriotic symbol commemorating Russian resilience and sacrifice. Today, the "Battle of Borodino" panorama stands as a significant historical record and a masterpiece of panoramic art, reflecting the talents of Franz Roubaud and the enduring legacy of the battle it depicts.
