About 1814, La Campagne de France

French Campaign, 1814 is an oil on wood painting by French painter Ernest Meissonier, created between 1860 and 1864. French Campaign, 1814 is one of the best-known artworks of Meissonier, and it is part of his Napoleonic cycle of paintings, with 1807, Friedland and The Morning of Castiglione (unfinished). It represents Napoleon Bonaparte leading his troops during the grim retreat of the French Campaign of 1814. When the painting was sold in 1890, it reached a record price for a painting by a contemporary artist. It is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. According to the art historian Constance Hungerford, Meissonier's work reflects the somber realities of Napoleon's final military campaign, emphasizing themes of loss, resilience, and patriotism.
