Description

In 1812 Napoleon's magnificent army invaded Russia.

Among the half a million men who crossed the border was Albrecht Adam, a former baker, a soldier and, most importantly for us, a military artist of considerable talent.

As the army plunged ever deeper into a devastated Russia Adam sketched and painted.

In all he produced 77 colour plates of the campaign and they are as fresh and dramatic as the day they were produced.

They show troops passing along dusty roads, bewildered civilians, battles and their bloody aftermath, burning towns and unchecked destruction.

The memoirs which accompany the plates form a candid text describing the war Adam witnessed.

Attached to IV Corps, composed largely of Italians, he was present at all the major actions and saw the conquerors march triumphantly into Moscow.

But, from then on, the invading army's fate was sealed and the disastrous outcome of the war meant that the year 1812 would become legendary as one of the darkest chapters in history.
