Two Paintings,
the first one glorious and inspiring,
while the other means the old boys club continues to rule over Europe!

Interesting, I thought the first one was Napoleon asking for directions to Elba Island and the second, two gentleman from different lands showing how a greeting can be, as opposed to an invasion.

Just a thought ....

Ah yes, 1809. The point in time which both Marechal Knox and Marechal Bardin will never dare to pass. :wink: :shock: :mrgreen:

Nice pictures, fellows. Very nice! :P :P :P

Eylau 1807 the Russians press the French centre the guard meet the onslaught

Image

In Desperation Tondu orders forward Murat's massed heavy cavalry.

Image

Image

They ride into the annals of glory charging right through the Russian centre turning about and charging back through again. The great charge saves the day for France and goes down in history as one of the greatest cavalry charges.
