Bevelhebber Peyronny loopt met gewonde soldaat op paard 1837

This lithograph, "Bevelhebber Peyronny loopt met gewonde soldaat op paard", depicts a scene of chaos and tragedy on the battlefield. Created in 1837 by renowned artist Auguste Raffet, the artwork vividly portrays the aftermath of a battle, with fallen soldiers scattered across the ground. A soldier on horseback, likely a commander, rides through the carnage, perhaps attending to a wounded comrade. Raffet's use of stark contrasts and realistic details emphasizes the brutality of war, serving as a powerful reminder of its human cost. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum and is a significant example of 19th-century lithographic art.
