Somosierra AD 1808-2018

Salvete Omnes,
battle of Somosierra Pass 1808 - 2018 - 210th anniversary this day
Wojciech Kossak - from his unfinished panorama

Suchodolski painting - detail with a glinka bailogrzywy   charger
Suchodolski - fallen horses - detail


Horace Vernet pinxit - detail
...my friend Krzys Komaniecki has been working on a new comics book retelling the story of the battle and famous charge - he has painted already 10 plates, out of 45-60 pages that the finished hand-painted comics will consist of.
Fingers crossed  - :) 
Valete!
