ATTRIBUTED TO CHRISTIAN ADOLF SCHREYER (1828 -1899) Study for "Charge of the Imperial Guard Artillery at Traktir in the Crimea, August 16, 1855". Original oil on canvas 37 x 77 cm. This is most probably the modelo for the painting exhibited at the Salon of 1865, now in the Musée d'Orsay (Musée du Louvre depot, inv. RF 440), measuring 202 x 429 cm (purchased from Adolf Schreyer, 1865). HISTORY On August 16, 1855, the Battle of Traktir Bridge took place on the banks of the Chernaya River in present-day Ukraine. The confrontation took place during the siege of Sebastopol, the main episode in the Crimean War between the Russian army and France, England, Piedmont and Turkey. The 3rd and 4th artillery reserve batteries, commanded by Colonel Forgeot, took up positions on the surrounding heights in the middle of the day. They faced the Russian infantry. Although within range of the enemy, the accuracy and speed of their fire enabled these battle-hardened units to rout the Russian army, which withdrew with heavy losses and missed its objective of lifting the siege of Sebastopol. This is the moment Adolf Schreyer chose to illustrate with a sublime movement by the horse artillerymen of the Imperial Guard. The artist was contemporary with the events. He accompanied the Austrian army to the Wallachian border near Crimea in 1854. A keen observer, his work shows an astonishing attention to detail. It is interesting to note the perfection with which he depicted the uniforms of the combatants, the artillery elite of Napoleon III's army, dressed in their dolmans and wearing their colbacks. Living in Paris since 1862, Adolf Schreyer exhibited at the Salon. In 1865, he presented his Charge d'artillerie. His ability to convey the intensity of battle scenes and capture the energy and movement of horses won him unanimous recognition. Critics were full of praise. Maxime du Camp, in his chronicle of the Salon for the Revue des Deux Mondes, rightly noted that Schreyer's painting "is a picture of full fire, movement and observation". Louis Auvray, director of the Revue Artistique, also points out: "What energy in the movements! what truth of feeling in the expressions! with what vigor the figures and horses are painted! This painting places M. Schreyer at the forefront of the Batailles painters." The painting on view at Orsay, unquestionably Adolf Schreyer's masterpiece, is one of the rarest and most prodigious depictions of the Crimean War, alongside works by Philippoteaux and Yvon. Awarded a medal at the Salon, the painting was acquired by Napoleon III for the Musée du Luxembourg. While the composition is already in place in our study, the artist completed the final canvas with a profusion of additional details: a horse corpse on the left, absent from our modelo, is present in the Orsay painting; a profusion of twigs and branches is added to the foreground of the final work; but the most poignant detail is undoubtedly the loose hand of the central rider, which could have shown a certain distress, and which Schreyer chose to paint as a closed point in the final painting, thus emphasizing the heroic conduct of our elite soldiers in the face of the most extreme adversity. oil on canvas, 15.5 x 30.3 in

DODE DE LA BRUNERIE (Guillaume and family). Important collection of approximately 850 letters and documents. 18th-19th centuries. A very important collection, rich in information about the marshal and his family, as well as the history of the Dauphiné region, where the marshal was a prominent figure. - Dode de la Brunerie (Guillaume). Set of around 130 letters to his family, including 2 from Egypt, 3 from the Marseilles lazaretto on his return from the Egyptian expedition, 2 from the Austrian campaign (October 1805 and January 1806), one from the Prussian campaign (November 1806, "... since the battle, there has been no more resistance from the Prussians... we have taken almost all the corps of the Prussian army, wholesale or retail.... it's a real hunt, we're hunting them down on all sides like wild beasts, and they're surrendering like sheep"), one from the Polish campaign (1807), 3 from Spain (1809-1810, "those enraged men from Saragossa who gave us so much trouble for two months have finally tired of a war whose relentlessness is unparalleled; they've surrendered... I do not regret this circumstance, because I took an active part in it, and I believe I contributed something to the success..."), 2 from the Russian campaign (Königsberg and Elbing, December 1812), one from Italy (March 1814, "You would like to see this Italian army in France, but it is much more useful here. It contains two enemy armies twice as numerous..."), one from Spain (1823, "We continue our triumphal march amid acclamations, dances, songs and demonstrations of all kinds of joy carried to the last degree of exaltation..."). I thought that seven years of war and occupation of Spain by the Franks and the English... had greatly changed the ideas of the Spanish people and considerably reduced the influence of the clergy on their opinion... Cities are rare in this country, and enlightened people are even rarer in cities. So the influence of the clergy had no difficulty in making this ignorant and stupefied people cry 'Long live the absolute king'..."). With a few autograph notes and drawings concerning private affairs. - Correspondence received, mainly by Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie, some 230 letters from French and foreign personalities: Grand Marshal Henri-Gatien Bertrand (1841), Minister of the Interior Lazare Carnot (1815, secretary's signature, concerning the dispatch of a copy of the Description de l'Égypte), General François Joseph Kirgener de Planta (1809-1810), Minister of the Interior Camille de Montalivet (1837), General Nicolas Oudinot (1849, thanks for congratulations on the expedition to Rome which he commanded in chief), general Joseph Rogniat (1823), general duke Ignacio Jaime de Sotomayor (1811, chamberlain and grand master of ceremonies to King Joseph Bonaparte), politician and historian Adolphe Thiers (1841, concerning the loan of documents relating to the history of the Revolution and Empire), future marshal Jean-Baptiste Philibert Vaillant (1849), and so on. Around a hundred of these letters congratulate Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie on his elevation to the rank of Marshal (1847). They are addressed to him by the future Marshal de Castellane, Baron Pierre-Paul Denniée, Charles Auguste Frossard (future general, future aide-de-camp to Napoleon III and future governor of the Prince Impérial), General Gaspard Gourgaud (Napoleon I's former companion in exile on St. Helena), General d'Empire Jean-Gabriel Marchand, General Auguste Moreau, future Marshal Adolphe Niel, Admiral Albin Roussin, future Marshal Jean-Baptiste-Philibert Vaillant, and more. Some of these letters concern the dispatch of his lithographed portrait or the writing of biographical notes. - Family correspondence: around 300 letters, including almost 110 from the marshal and a few from Count Guéheneuc, marshal Lannes' father-in-law; correspondence concerning the marshal's nephew, Guzman Dode, etc. - Miscellaneous papers, 18th-19th centuries, approx. 120 items: livre de raison et de comptes of Jean Dode, the marshal's ancestor (first half of the 18th century, bound in an in-folio parchment volume, completed by other hands), the marshal's will, the maréchale's will and inventory of her possessions, notarized documents, business letters, etc. - Printed matter, nineteenth century, approx. 70 stapled booklets: Guillaume Dode de La Brunerie, rapports et opinions à la Chambre des pairs de 1826 à 1836 (several duplicates); Auguste Moreau, Notice sur le vicomte Dode de La Brunerie, maréchal de France, 1852, 2 stapled copies, each with handwritten dispatch; a few booklets by other authors, mainly on the subjects ab
