Napoleonic Paintings You Would Like to Represent (1 Viewer)

[sotnik]

Oooooo...I really like that one Spitfrnd...who is it by? Do you know? I agree that the Waterloo version would be great (though a tad overdone).

This is painting by artist Bogdan Willevalde, i think he was Russian or Polish

"Capture of a French regiment's eagle by the cavalry of the Russian guard at Austerlitz"

Ah...La Charge by Detaille you have inspired me my friend How about Russian Cossacks , and of course we need more French Cav

 

[Spitfrnd]

Very good mates, nice to see this thread get continued support and reinforcement. I would love to see more French cavalry, starting with the long awaited Cuirassiers and of course including the Dragoons.

Bill,

I love the paintings you show here...would you have a painting of the Totenkopf Hussars - does that exist? Apologies if it is wrong but there was a request for these figures sometime ago...and I somehow looked the look of these.

Thanks for any help
Steve

I can't seem to find a good sized one but they do exist. Here is one example I found from the web:

It is a Richard Knotel and available here http://www.military-art.com/var439.htm

Here is a another painting

Of course the term applied to both the Prussian 5th Hussar Regiment prior to 1815 and the 2nd Leib (Guard) Regiment from 1815 forward. This painting is of the 2nd I think since the facings and turnbacks appear to be all black.

Here is another Totenkopf example:

Indeed, and I love looking at cavalry, be it photos or figures. There is something very majestic about the horse. One of my favourite animals.

How about some sketches from the Great Detaille

No argument from me on that one mate.

I thought somehow you might agree Bill

It is strange on my part why I have never collected Napoleonics as it must be the one war where horses reign supreme Well I do have my Ceremonial collection so perhaps that is why.

Well now that you mention it, I suppose it is one reason I do collect them.

Since we are on the subject of cavalry, here is a slightly larger version of Gebhard's nice posting of that fine "Die Uberlebenden" painting by Mark Churms
