Und Lodernd Brennt Das Firmament

Und lodernd brennt das Firmament

In der Völkerschlacht

That nice feeling when you’re finally getting out of an art-block with much inspiration and excitement for the future projects. :)

Due to the occasion comes victorious field-marshal as a warming up piece! Just to sum up that lengthy conversation started at the beginning of the week. 🇦🇹✨

And a poster-like appeal which suits the occasion perfectly! (Of course the font style called “Deutsch-Gotic” will have problems with Umlauts, of course… 🙄)

Happy Birthday!!!!🥳🥳🥳

Wellington: You’re a nerd, no offense.

Metternich: You know, just because you say “no offense” doesn’t excuse the offensive remark that inevitably follows.

Wellington: Well, in that case, you’re a nerd. Offense intended.  

Love that incredible painting very much, even though certain things in depiction of uniforms, for example, seem a little bit of! It’s overall grandeur and attention to details are superb anyway. ✨

It also turns out that this canvas was originally created by Russian artist! I was able to find several references to his work in our segment of the Internet. The artist’s name is Sergey Troshin. :)

However, it was rather obvious in the first place because of how closely resembles Troshin’s portrayal of famous Russian generals - Alexei Petrovich Yermoloff and Michail Bogdanovich Barclay de Tolly (who was at the time supreme commander of all Russian contingent in the allied army; tsar Alexander also rewarded him with the field marshal’s baton due to the successful Siege of Paris) - their original portraits made by George Dawe for the Military gallery of the Winter Palace in Saint-Petersburg.

Besides, I’d love to add a few more pictures with the same theme - the Entrance of the Allied forces into Paris on the 31st of March 1814.

Alexander is as glorious as ever, meanwhile king Friedrich Wilhelm III and prince Schwarzenberg are just 😑😑

And here is one more interesting depiction, as not tsar Alexander but field-marshal Schwarzenberg in all his glory suddenly becomes the centre of attention! 🇦🇹
