About the piece
Created in 1869 by Christian Sell, this oil on canvas captures the tension and atmosphere of a military campaign. The composition features a diverse array of soldiers in Prussian and Austrian uniforms, some on horseback and others resting, set against a dark, sweeping landscape and a turbulent sky that emphasizes the gravity of the historical moment.
