EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Retreat from Moscow, 1911" by Stephen Baghot De La Bere depicts a chilling scene of despair and defeat. Set against the backdrop of a wintry landscape, it portrays the harsh realities faced by soldiers during war. In this haunting image, we witness a desolate army retreating through the Russian countryside. Hunger-stricken horses struggle to move forward as they battle the biting cold. A skeletal figure on horseback symbolizes death and starvation that have plagued both man and beast. Amidst this bleakness, a crow perches atop a drum, serving as an ominous scavenger witnessing the aftermath of warfare. The artist's use of color adds depth to the painting; shades of blue evoke an icy atmosphere while hints of red signify bloodshed and loss. "The Retreat from Moscow" serves as an allegory for defeat in war. It captures not only physical exhaustion but also emotional turmoil experienced by those involved in conflict. Through his masterful brushwork, De La Bere brings forth themes of suffering, sacrifice, and resilience. Displayed at Liverpool's Lady Lever Art Gallery since 1918, this oil on canvas piece continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery and historical significance. It stands as a poignant reminder of the human cost endured during one of history's most devastating conflicts – the Napoleonic Wars.
