CAMPAIGN OF FRANCE – SOMEWHERE NEAR BRIENNE (JANUARY 1814)
by Irunberry Salaberry
For this one, everything started with the idea of a statue of Christ on the cross. I used it as a background for this scene from the 1814 campaign in France where I wanted to display a unit that is seldom represented in the Napoleonic world, that of the Imperial Guard’s éclaireurs (scouts), here the first regiment attached to the Horse Grenadiers. I wanted interaction between HQ officers meeting civilians on the run who finally give the soldiers a clue as to their enemy’s whereabouts.
Figures used (and modified for the most part) for the military: Zvezda, Italeri, Esci, Franznap, Revell, , Lancier bleu. Civilians are “Croëbern” made and Art Miniaturen.
Dio built May-July 2017.
