The Battle of Jemappes (1821)

Horace Vernet: The Battle of Jemappes

This battle took place on November 6, 1792, in Belgium. French versus Austrians, French won the battle but strategic gains were nullified by a later loss at the Battle of Neerwinden in March 1793.

This is one of the earliest of Vernet's large-scale battle scenes, of which he produced many.
