Painting Description
"Study for The Borodino Panorama" is a preparatory work by the Russian artist Franz Roubaud, created as part of his process in designing the monumental panoramic painting depicting the Battle of Borodino. The Battle of Borodino, fought on September 7, 1812, was a significant engagement between Napoleon's Grande Armée and the Russian army during the French invasion of Russia, and it has been immortalized in Russian history and culture.
Franz Roubaud (1856–1928) was a notable painter of panoramic works, a genre that gained popularity in the 19th century for its immersive representation of historical events. Born in Odessa to French parents, Roubaud studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and became renowned for his large-scale panoramic paintings, which often portrayed battles and historical scenes.
The study served as a conceptual and compositional blueprint for the final version of "The Borodino Panorama," which was completed in 1912 to commemorate the centenary of the battle. The panoramic painting itself is an immense circular artwork, designed to be viewed from the inside, giving viewers a 360-degree view of the battlefield and creating an illusion of being present at the event.
Roubaud's study would have included sketches and smaller-scale paintings that allowed him to experiment with composition, perspective, and color before embarking on the final, large-scale project. Such studies were crucial for the planning of panoramic paintings, which required meticulous detail and accuracy to achieve the desired effect of realism and immersion.
"The Borodino Panorama" is one of the most famous works by Roubaud and remains a significant cultural artifact in Russia, housed in the Borodino Panorama Museum in Moscow. The study for this panorama, while less well-known than the final work, provides insight into the artistic process and the level of preparation involved in creating such a grand historical representation. It reflects Roubaud's skill in capturing the drama and scale of historical battles, a talent that made him one of the most sought-after panorama painters of his time.
