"Bitwa pod Somosierra" (English: "The Battle of Somosierra") is a renowned painting by the French artist Horace Vernet, depicting the historical battle of the same name that took place during the Peninsular War. The battle, which occurred on November 30, 1808, was a significant conflict where Napoleon's forces, including the Polish Chevau-légers of the Imperial Guard, famously charged through the Spanish positions in the Somosierra Pass, leading to a strategic victory for the French.

Horace Vernet, born Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (1789–1863), was a prominent 19th-century painter known for his historical scenes and military subjects. His work often reflected his fascination with the Napoleonic era, and he gained considerable acclaim for his ability to capture the drama and intensity of battle.

In "Bitwa pod Somosierra," Vernet showcases his mastery of dynamic composition and his acute attention to detail. The painting is a vivid portrayal of the heat of battle, with a focus on the valor and heroism of the Polish cavalrymen as they charge through the mountain pass. The artwork is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, the movement of the figures, and the realistic rendering of the uniforms and weaponry of the period.

The painting not only serves as a historical record of the event but also as a symbol of Polish bravery and sacrifice, as the Polish troops played a crucial role in securing the victory for Napoleon. Vernet's depiction of the battle has been celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual legacy of Napoleonic military campaigns.

"Bitwa pod Somosierra" holds cultural significance in both France and Poland, reflecting the shared military history and the valor of the Polish soldiers who fought under Napoleon's command. The painting is an important work within Vernet's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its historical representation and artistic qualities.
