Horace Vernet: The Battle of Hanau
This may be the earliest of Vernet's massive battle scenes, which became a specialty of his.
The Battle of Hanau (October 30-31, 1813) was a Napoleonic engagement, during the War of the Sixth Coalition. It is described by Wikipedia as a "minor battle," but Vernet's canvas seems to show otherwise.
