Omslag voor twaalf prenten over de inname van Constantine 1838

This 1838 lithograph, created by Auguste Raffet, is the cover for a series of prints depicting the French conquest of Constantine. Raffet was known for his detailed depictions of military life and battles, often capturing the drama and chaos of warfare. The cover features a soldier standing guard over a tattered flag, symbolizing the victory of the French forces. The work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and its style is a prime example of the romanticism that characterized 19th century European art.
