Napoleon on the Battlefield of Eylau (French: Napoléon sur le champ de bataille d'Eylau) is a renowned oil painting created in 1808 by the esteemed artist Antoine-Jean Gros. This masterpiece, completed during the winter of 1807-1808, stands as a symbol of the burgeoning Romanticism movement. It immortalizes a poignant moment following the decisive Battle of Eylau (February 7-8, 1807), where Napoleon Bonaparte ponders the aftermath of his Grande Armée's costly victory against the Russians. Despite maintaining elements of heroic history painting, Napoleon on the Battlefield of Eylau is Gros's most realistic portrayal of Napoleon, departing from the subtleties of Neoclassicism. This captivating artwork is prominently displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. • This is part of our new Series Great Military Art Explained .
