Actually he is not French but Italian but this doesn't remove anything from his talent

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Excellent, I love the Fuentes one of course. Thanks for indulging my passion.

Continuing with cavalry, here's another Knotel that I fancy. It is of Mockern but for the purposes here I would like to do a British Hussar charge version for which there are many Peninsula options and for a counter cavalry charge, even some Waterloo options.

 

[Spitfrnd]

Another great cavalry painting, this one of Barvarian and French, which I would like to duplicate with British and French since the action is great, at my friend Gebhard's request.

WOW Bill..... That's a Great painting ...... I would love to see First Legion do those awesome Bavarian Chevau-Legers and the additional French Heavy Cavalry would be Great too .. First Legion is my only hope in getting the lesser know warriors of the Napoleonic Wars made . That's one thing you don't hear much about , but that's what got me hooked on First Legion . They cover all of the participants of a Battle not just the same old stuff that has been done over and over and yet over again. All the best and thanks Gebhard

I would go for those figures also!

Bill , Here is some you may find of interest One good turn deserves another as they say Cheers Gebhard

Here is one interesting painting by Spanish painter Ulpiano Checa
"The ditch (sunken road) at Waterloo"

Bill , Here is some you may find of interest One good turn deserves another as they say Cheers Gebhard

Ah yes, fine additions Geb. The first of course is a depiction of the last moments of the 3rd Regiment (the Buffs) which was caught in the open by French cavalry during a rainstorm at Albuera. Ensign Thomas defended the colors to his last breath and on 2 of an original 63 of this group survived. Albuera is a battle I would like to do in many scenes, including some more successful British actions I have posted before.

The last is the Assaut du monastère de Santa Engracia" by Louis François, Baron Lejeune which depicts the bitter fighting between the French and Spanish of February 8, 1809 ( during the siege of Saragossa). Napoleon had no idea what he was starting. Just for fun, here is a larger version

"The ditch (sunken road) at Waterloo"

That is interesting and scary but seemingly incorrect historically for Waterloo. There was no such incident at the sunken road. The closest real event was when a detachment of Cuirassiers was nearly wiped out by British line fire from above while traversing the sunken road.
