About the piece
Created in 1892 by the renowned battle painter Franz Roubaud, this work captures the dramatic 1853 crossing of the Caucasus Mountains by Prince Argutinsky. Roubaud expertly contrasts the dark silhouettes of the soldiers and horses against the brilliant, blinding white of the high-altitude snow, creating a sense of both the monumental scale of the landscape and the grit of the expedition.
