EDITORS COMMENTS
Death of Prince Louis of Prussia, 10 October 1806 (coloured engraving) captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the tragic demise of Friedrich Ludwig Christian, also known as Louis Ferdinand. This remarkable artwork by the French School from the 19th century is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. Prince Louis Ferdinand was not only a prince but also a valiant soldier who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. His unwavering determination to resume war against Napoleon and the First French Empire led to the eruption of the War of Fourth Coalition. However, his life was cut short during the opening engagement at the Battle of Saalfeld. The coloured engraving showcases Prince Louis on horseback, clad in his military uniform with sword drawn. The intensity and chaos of battle surround him as soldiers clash and horses gallop through smoke-filled air. It is an evocative portrayal that encapsulates both bravery and tragedy. This print not only commemorates Prince Louis's sacrifice but also serves as a testament to all those who have fought for their countries throughout history. It reminds us of the immense human cost that wars entail and prompts reflection on our shared responsibility for peace. Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece of artistry which allows us to delve into this historical event and pay homage to those who have fallen in service.
