Favorite Military Art

Here are some of mine.

Nothing better depicts the might of Roman arms than this image of Caesar victorious in Gaul.



Frederick's troops at Hohenfriedberg. The feel of the rush and anticipation of combat is well presented here by Carl Rochling.



This one pretty much reveals the savagery and ferocity of the fighting at Badajoz.



What are some of yours?

The battle of narva :
Gustavus adolphus charges

Charles XII on his deathmarch

That last picture..
Why do you hate it?
we all know that if the road wasnt so bumbpy he would have stood up, pulled out a luger and shot both the pilots. He's that cool.
(not that i'm saying i love nazi generals, but rommell was something else. Plus he wasnt a fanatic so its alright.)

There are some excellent Romantic paintings of the Greek War of the Independence


The start of revolution in Peloponnesos




The heroic exodus of Mesolongi





The destruction of the Turkish battleship

Nice images all.

Nothing demonstrates the futility of war better than Goya's Third of May 1808.

Racer X: It's hard to forget that image. Crude, but the message is immediate. Goya was a real master - portraits, bucolic settings, social statements, horror images, the man could do it all.

The charge of the 2nd and 3d French cavalry at Waterloo by Mark Churms



The rape of the Sabine Women by Jaques Louis David

Indeed, he was brilliant. I actually recently performed a speech about him for my art history course.

Taxandrius: I've always liked Churms' artwork. That image is a particular favorite of mine. He should have a book on his work published.

Pallantides: Where do those images come from?

Hussites, wagon warriors and probably first guys to mass use powder powered weapon in combat.

Battle of Bunker (Breeds) Hill


Washington crossing the Delaware (one of the most famous, and inaccurate, paintings on the revolution)




there was this one of a Roman aquilifer storming the beaches of Britannia, but I cant seem to find it now
